My question is to Senator McKenzie, the Minister representing the Minister for Aged Care. We'll have another go. When asked yesterday how many Commonwealth-supported residential aged-care places the Turnbull government has cut to fund its attempt to address its blowout in the waiting list for in-home aged-care packages, the minister confused residential aged care with in-home aged-care packages. Given the minister has had 24 hours to check, can she now tell the Senate how many Commonwealth-supported residential aged-care places the Turnbull government cut in its budget on Tuesday night?
