Only the Labor Party could make a full glass sound as though it's empty. This government made a very deliberate decision to provide support to aged-care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic because of the circumstances they found themselves in. We said that they were important to the government and that they were important to the community, and so we made a decision to provide up to $800 and up to $600 for residential aged-care workers and home-care workers to support them through the COVID-19 pandemic.
