My question is to the Minister for Aged Care and Seniors. On 31 March, 87,597 older Australians were assessed and waiting for home care at their approved level. As of today, that figure is estimated to be over 100,000. Older Australians are dying while waiting for aged care. What justification does the government have for delaying the promised additional home-care packages from July to November this year?
