My question is to the Prime Minister. Under the Prime Minister's own emergency response document for COVID-19, his government is responsible for aged-care infection control guidelines.    Victoria's Chief Medical Officer has revealed poor infection practice has been the main driver of infection in aged care. Today, more than 360 families are grieving as a result. Does the Prime Minister accept that his failure to act has led to the deaths of vulnerable aged-care residents?
