The only thing eroding the confidence in the vaccine rollout is the relentless negativity of those on the other side, who at every turn and at every opportunity try to tear the process down. We have always said we would build the rollout of the vaccine as more vaccine became available, and that's what we are doing. So, the relentless negativity of those on the other side is the thing that's eroding people's confidence in the vaccine rollout. As I said, 381,000 people yesterday were able to access the website at their first opportunity—98 per cent of those who wanted to access the website. It's the relentless negativity of Labor, of those on the other side, that is causing concerns about the vaccine rollout. We will continue to ramp up the vaccination process as more vaccine becomes available. (Time expired)
