My question is to the Minister for Health and Aged Care. COVID vaccinations at the Benetas nursing home at Kangaroo Flat were meant to begin yesterday. A constituent told me that he was there with his grandmother, who gets really anxious about needles, and 49 residents and their families were waiting. The facility had put on extra staff, but the Commonwealth's private contractor never showed up. How did this happen? Can the minister assure the House that this mismanagement is not widespread?
