[by video link] My question is for the Minister for Health and Aged Care. Nearly 600 aged-care centres across Australia, less than half the workforce, have had their first vaccine dose. Given the government's announced mandate for workforce vaccination starts in just over three weeks, can the government guarantee that there will be enough vaccinated aged-care workers to care for vulnerable older Australians?
