My question is to Minister for Aged Care and Senior Australians, Senator Colbeck. Today the Minister for Health announced additional funding to stop the COVID-19 aged-care crisis. Why has it taken the deaths of more than 457 Australians in aged care and seven months of the COVID-19 crisis for the Morrison government to finally provide these additional resources?
