My question is to the Minister for Aged Care and Senior Australians, Senator Colbeck. How many residents in aged care have passed away due to COVID-19? When did the minister first become aware that 33 deaths of older Australians in residential aged care had not been reported until today? Why did it take until August for the Commonwealth to change its reporting obligations for deaths in aged-care facilities?
