Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. How could any Australian who has a family member in an aged care facility have any confidence at all that the government’s system will fully protect their relatives from the shocking abuse that has been reported over the last 10 days, given that the minister has done nothing effective since the events first came to light? Given that there are now four aged care facilities that are the subject of these investigations, can the minister indicate whether any other facilities are the subject of similar investigations?
