Yesterday there were over 18,000 vaccinations in Australia. Next week, we move to the following phase, when the supply from Australia's domestic, sovereign manufacturing comes on board. That phase will see us receiving approximately a million vaccines a week. It will allow us to move to some hundreds of thousands of vaccinations a week as we build up—up to over a thousand GPs in the first part of that and then ultimately to 4,000 general practitioners.

And, yes, it's been based on supply. When the international situation saw a collapse, we made sure that we had sovereign vaccine manufacturing, and that's what's protected Australia. They can pretend it didn't occur overseas; we're upfront about that. But we pre-empted, we protected and we prepared. (Time expired)
