My question is to the Minister for Aged Care and Seniors. In the Senate, the coalition just dragged Labor kicking and screaming into delivering all 83,000 home-care package places that were promised, including 40,000 this year. Labor didn't want this, but the coalition made it happen. Is the minister aware that the Prime Minister took a deliberate decision to exclude him from all negotiations today between Labor and the coalition on these matters. If the Prime Minister doesn't want the Minister for Aged Care and Seniors in the room when the big calls are being made, why should any elderly Australian?
