My question is to the Minister for Aged Care and Seniors. In my electorate, a 90-year-old constituent who suffers from Parkinson's has been told it will be up to 12 months before he receives a home-care package. His daughter has to give up her permanent job as a teacher to care for him. As a result of Labor deferring the commencement of home-care packages from 1 July to 1 November, a vulnerable 90-year-old Australian is suffering for too long. Will the minister, as an immediate priority, expedite the delivery of this man's package before it is too late?
