My question is for the Minister for Aged Care and Seniors, and I refer to the government's decision to delay home-care-package rollouts from 1 July to 1 November. Almost 5,000 elderly Australians have died in the past year while on a waiting list for a home-care package. Will the minister apologise to these 5,000 families who have faced this tragedy and lost a loved one, and, Minister, how many more elderly Australians will have to die waiting for the government to stop the delays and commence the rollout?
