Santo Santoro (Queensland, Liberal Party, Minister for Ageing) Share this | Hansard source

I do not know why Senator McLucas continues on this crusade. I do not know why Senator McLucas does not wish to acknowledge the size of the industry. There are over 3,000 aged care facilities funded by the federal government, and there are over 150,000 residents being cared for in these facilities and at home, but Senator McLucas continues to build a case on the very unfortunate, small number of cases in relation to this.
