My question is to the Prime Minister: The government promised that all disability-care residents would be vaccinated by last Easter yet, yesterday, health department officials told Senate estimates only 355 out of 22,000 people living in disability accommodation had received both doses of vaccine. Why has the government only vaccinated less than two per cent of people living in disability accommodation? Why is the Prime Minister so negligent on the vaccine rollout?
