My question is to the minister representing the Minister for Health and Aged Care, Senator Colbeck. Today the Prime Minister held an emergency national cabinet meeting, with the sole agenda item being the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. The Liberal New South Wales premier, Premier Berejiklian, has said she will request more supply of vaccines from the Commonwealth, saying, 'If we had more doses of Pfizer, we could get them out through our New South Wales state government mass vaccination hubs.' Why has the Morrison government failed to ensure enough supply of Pfizer doses in New South Wales, which is now facing a new COVID-19 outbreak?
