That's upside down, Penny! Every year is an increase of $1 billion, so it's completely spurious to say that.

Since the last budget, I can confirm that we have delivered 20,000 new home care packages, 13,500 residential aged-care packages and 775 short-term restorative packages. Funding for aged care by this coalition government is at absolutely record levels. Over the next five years it will grow by $5 billion to $23.6 billion—something that every Australian should be very proud of.
