Of course it doesn't represent government policy. I think that, at all times, Australians should be looking to the official advice, which is based on the medical expert opinion of the government's advisers, when it comes to vaccinations. I think it's incumbent on all of us here in this place to be supporting that vaccination program. All of us should be doing that, not seeking to undermine it by making false claims about rollouts or anything like that. We've seen that quite a bit from the opposition over the course of this pandemic. We've seen quite a bit of the opposition talking out of both sides of their mouths when it comes to the government's leadership and when it comes to responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic response of the government.

So, yes, the government's policy when it comes to the vaccination program is very clear, and I encourage all members to be supporting the government in the rollout of the vaccination and not seek to undermine it. I ask the Minister for Health to add further to the answer.
