My question is to the Prime Minister. Page 36 of Budget Paper No. 1 states an assumption that most priority populations have been vaccinated, but the disability royal commission heard last week that less than one per cent of disability care residents—that's 127 people—were fully vaccinated against COVID. This situation has been described by counsel assisting as an abject failure. Why does the Prime Minister never take responsibility when he fails to deliver, in this case to people with a disability?
