My question without notice is to the Minister for Aged Care and Senior Australians, Senator Colbeck. The Morrison government was warned of the risks to the aged-care workforce in the event of a COVID-19 outbreak, yet within three days of the first COVID-19 case being detected at the Dorothy Henderson Lodge on 3 March all permanent carers were forced into isolation. Why did the Morrison government ignore this warning?
