I wish I had more so that I could explain in greater detail in the hope that the opposition will understand it. What somebody like Francis Sullivan said—and, Mr President, you should listen to this when you are talking about care—is: ‘It is pleasing to see that frail, elderly people can also benefit from the country’s surplus and join in the process of prosperity.’ That says it all. It says that this government, through strong economic management, is providing for elderly, frail Australians. I have very definitively addressed the issue of care.
