It's at times like this you think the opposition's ears might be painted on, because we have explained a number of times that, as the rollout of the vaccination process has occurred, we have had to change the way the rollout is occurring, based on the circumstances that have occurred. It's all very well for the opposition to repeat something that happened or was said in February and ignore everything that's happened between now and then. In fact, it's quite dishonest of them to continue to do that. We have had to make some adjustments to the rollout as circumstances have changed. We continue to work with the states and territories, using the information that we provided to them yesterday, so that Australians can get access to a vaccine and those that want one can do so by the end of this calendar year.
