I note the minister mentioned taking action by Christmas, so let me ask: the royal commission's interim report recommended as one of three urgent actions an immediate injection of more government funds into home care services. In addition, Leading Age Services now argues that an urgent pre-Christmas injection into residential aged care is also required. What urgent support will the Morrison government give the aged-care sector prior to Christmas?
