[by video link] My question is to the Prime Minister. Your job is to keep all people safe, not just some. But even though you set an 80 per cent vaccination target for adults, there's no target for children, nor for at-risk communities like First Nations peoples or peoples with disabilities. Everywhere from Wilcannia to the United States, we're seeing the virus rip through at-risk communities. Prime Minister, at national cabinet this Friday, will you ensure the national plan has separate vaccination targets for children, First Nations people, people with disabilities and other at-risk groups so that they're vaccinated to at least the same levels as the broader population when restrictions are eased?
