My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Health and Aged Care, Senator Colbeck. The ACT Chief Minister and Chief Health Officer argued that people aged 12 years and above should be factored into the vaccination rate required for reopening. Given that 38 per cent of cases in the ACT are children under 17, and around 30 per cent of COVID-19 cases in NSW are people under 20, will the Morrison-Joyce government consider this?
