CHALMERS () (): My question is to the Prime Minister. Jeta Gardens, to the south of Brisbane, is the site of the worst aged-care COVID outbreak in the state, with 100 residents and 82 staff infected. According to reports, a resident was taken to hospital after falling from a second-floor balcony on 2 February when she did not receive her pain medication. An incident report lists neglect as a factor in her fall. Will the Prime Minister take responsibility for the shocking crisis in his aged-care system?
