My question is to the Minister for Aged Care and Senior Australians, Senator Colbeck. On 11 March the minister said in a media release that the Morrison government would:

… support aged care providers with personal protective equipment (PPE) resources for staff where it is needed, as part of the infection control measures.

The royal commission heard evidence that aged-care workers were told they could use only two masks per shift and only one glove. How did the minister allow this to happen?
