And the government will continue to methodically and, in accordance with the health advice received from those advising the government, update the advice provided to Australians in support of their receiving a vaccine. We know that the vaccination program has been worked initially based on cohorts, and then there was a decision made through a national cabinet to change that process to work on the basis of age demographics rather than specific cohorts within the community. We have at all times methodically followed the health advice, and we will continue to do that in support of giving every Australian who wants a vaccine the opportunity to have one by the end of this year.
