I stand to address the Morrison government's record of inaction and cuts to aged care over the last six years—cuts that have directly led to the national aged-care system being broken. What we just heard from Senator Dean Smith, Western Australian Liberal, was a very, very lacklustre contribution. In fact, that contribution was essentially a contribution of distraction. Even though he says the federal government have all these achievements—and there's the fact that they just rotate ministers in aged care—he spent at least seven minutes attacking the Labor Party. We have not been in government for six years. They have presided over a royal commission—seriously!
