Well, I think it's reasonable that the Prime Minister has conversations with his colleagues in this place and reinforces his point of view. As part of that process, in his statement today Mr Kelly said:

I agreed to support the government's vaccine rollout which has been endorsed by medical experts.

I have always sought to support the success of our nation's public health response during the pandemic.

I believe that the spread of misinformation can damage the success of our public health response during the pandemic.

So I reinforce the statement that I made yesterday, particularly in the context of the vaccine rollout for senior Australians—who, we all understand, are the most vulnerable. (Time expired)
