Senator, I will take your interjection. You are right. It should not have occurred in the first place.

An opposition senator: You had a royal commission report.

That's why we called the royal commission. That's why one of the first acts of Prime Minister Morrison was to call a royal commission to undertake a forensic review of the aged-care sector so that we could put in place the reforms that will stop these sorts of events and lift the entire sector so that we do have a better, world-class aged-care system in this country.
