We all remember the budget speech of this year, which had all those toxic taxes and broken promises. Those toxic taxes and broken promises are getting bigger by the day, especially the broken promises. Who remembers the Treasurer saying: 'Reforming and strengthening care. There's $3 billion to deliver more beds, more packages and better aged care for older Australians'? We all remember now what that better aged care is all about—AI bots to make sure that poor old elderly Australians who are waiting for home care packages cannot get their policies considered properly. It's all being done by an AI bot. That's how those opposite think you should conduct your policies when it comes to aged care.

Worse than that, we've seen under the Albanese Labor government 4,812 people die while they've been waiting for those home care packages. It's an absolute disgrace. There are more broken promises from those opposite, more taxes and more spending. And now you are crippling older Australians who are waiting for aged care. It's a disgrace.
