My question is to the Minister for Aged Care and Seniors. Minister, the Kooyong community recently mourned the loss of Neale Daniher. Neil bore motor neurone disease with dignity and strength. I have another community member, Graham Crossan, also living with MND. Graham's 80. He's ventilator dependent, and he needs 24-hour care. But your integrated assessment tool says he doesn't qualify for the highest level of support. It's a disgrace. Minister, how can you possibly justify your integrated assessment tool to Australians like Graham?
