My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Mental Health and Ageing, Senator Ludwig. I refer the minister to the Prime Minister's statement of 21 July 2010 when she proudly announced that aged-care reform would be a second-term priority. I also refer the minister to a statement made by the then Minister for Health and Ageing, Nicola Roxon, that the government would respond quickly to the Productivity Commission's recommendations. Given that it has now been seven months since the Productivity Commission's report was released and we still do not have a response, what is the government's definition of quickly?
