One thing that you learn in this place is not to take everything that Labor say at face value, because their record of misrepresentation is probably better than any other record that they have. They could not make a statement that stacks up if they tried. As I've said, we will continue to scale up the rollout of the vaccine as more vaccine becomes available. The states will play their part in that, along with doctor's surgeries, residential aged-care facilities and pharmacists around the country, as well as Commonwealth based vaccination clinics as they come online, and 100 of those will come online next week. So we will continue to ramp up the vaccination process with the availability of vaccine, and none of Labor's relentless negativity will hold us back.
