Can I just say that is one of the most ridiculously dangerous questions to ask in this place. It is a bit reminiscent of the Greens question today. We have over 8,000 locations people can book, including several thousand in New South Wales. To give you an idea, since I've become minister we have provided new ways of getting people vaccinated. Yesterday we announced the Pfizer vaccinations, and there are over 8,000 locations, including 2,500 in New South Wales. Providing safe access to vaccinations not just for people with disability but also for their families and carers is a priority. At the moment, we're vaccinating 1.8 million people each week and we are also providing new ways. Since we started the new approach, 90,000 NDIS participants have been vaccinated. That rate has been increasing exponentially over the last few weeks. (Time expired)
