In addition to that, we announced, and have been delivering, an additional $5½ billion since the 2018-19 budget for additional home-care packages—83,105 additional home-care packages. There is now a total of 195,597 packages that will be issued by 30 June this year. Between now and 30 June, the number of home-care packages available to senior Australians is increasing by approximately 1,200 per week. We are absolutely determined and committed to addressing the serious issues in our aged-care sector. When I announced the royal commission into aged care, I said it begins with a culture of respect for older Australians. That's what we need in this country, and that is what my government is determined to deliver.
