These are two things that seem to elude them on these matters. The issue of responding to the coronavirus challenge with aged care is incredibly significant and incredibly important. We are applying ourselves to those challenges with the resources that are necessary and have been called upon in particular by the aged-care sector, in particular with the extension of measures already put in place by this government and extended again earlier this week in response to requests from the aged-care sector, as we've carefully considered where the state of the pandemic is up to, and we have made the decision to extend that support further because of the nature of the challenge that we face. The Minister for Health may wish to add to my answer.
