My question is to the Minister for Aged Care and Senior Australians, Senator Colbeck. Yesterday, the government announced 10,000 additional aged-care home packages. Aged and Community Services Australia said that the announcement 'will not even touch the sides of demand'. How does the minister plan to deliver care to the remaining 110,000 older Australians who are still waiting for home care packages which have already been approved?
