The Labor Party again misrepresents what the royal commission has said. They have so little respect for this place not only do they misrepresent what we have said but they misrepresent even what the royal commission has said. We have said that we will accept every recommendation of the royal commission's report that was tabled last Thursday. That's what we will do. We will report to this place by 1 December, as recommendation 1 has said. We are well on the way to implementing four of the six recommendations, and we have applied $1.6 billion to our plan to support the aged-care sector through the COVID-19 outbreak, a fact that was acknowledged by the royal commission in its report. So we will, as we said in our response to the royal commission report last Thursday, accept all of the recommendations. We will report to this parliament by 1 December.
