Senator Allison quite rightly points out that we have been down this road many times before. I do not want to sound like a broken record, but the government’s position remains unchanged. We will not be agreeing to it. But great care will be taken in selecting the Aged Care Commissioner. The Aged Care Commissioner will have a very serious job in ensuring the accountability of the department in implementing the new investigative arrangements, the aged-care standards and the accreditation agency in relation to its accreditation functions.

Question negatived.
