My question is to the Minister for Aged Care and Seniors. In March 2021, the now Prime Minister said, 'We cannot be satisfied with a situation where older Australians are dying while waiting for their home-care packages.' The minister was sworn in on 13 May this year. Since that date, how many elderly Australians have died waiting for a home-care package?
