Thanks, Senator Siewert, for the supplementary question. What I said was that where there has been significant community transmission there have been COVID-19 outbreaks in residential aged care everywhere in the world. With respect to your comments about a number of other countries, we actually are doing better than all of those—significantly better than all of those. In fact, our circumstance with respect to infections in residential aged care as the number of deaths as a proportion of aged-care places is 35 times better than the UK.
