My question is to the Prime Minister. The commissioners presiding over the aged-care royal commission said today:

Had the Australian government acted upon previous reviews of aged care, the persistent problems in aged care would have been known much earlier and the suffering of many people could have been avoided.

Are the royal commissioners correct? Prime Minister, what Australians are seeing in aged care could have been avoided. Why didn't the government and you act?
