The royal commission also heard evidence from another woman who went for four days without a support worker, amid fears she and her husband had been exposed to COVID-19. She said:

I just couldn't get PPE anywhere.

…   …   …

… I saw Prime Minister Scott Morrison saying that PPE was being provided and I was like, "Hello, where is mine?" There was none.

How many Australians living with a disability were left behind by the Morrison government when it failed to provide them with the PPE they needed to stay safe?
