I want to start by noting that the Prime Minister called, as one of his first actions in the role, a royal commission into aged care following on from the revelations and the increasing information about the agony and the tragedy that occurred in Oakden, in the South Australian state-run facility under the previous Labor government. That was a national scandal and a national shame.

Ms Collins interjecting—

If the member wants to make light of a national scandal and a national shame in Oakden, then I feel that that is unfortunate and inappropriate.
