My question is to the Minister for Senior Australians and Aged Care. In the last two financial years the Australian Aged Care Quality Agency reported a near tripling of concerns that accreditation standards for aged-care facilities were not being met. Given the minister is responsible for overseeing the agency, and has been the minister responsible for over 30 months, what warnings did he receive about the type of poor care and treatment that was revealed on Four Corners and when did he receive them?
