This is a further example of the Labor Party living in the past—that's very, very old data. We continue to publish the data. It's available on the website. We've actually put on the website every single aged-care facility in this country so people can look and see what the vaccination rates are. That's transparency. That's working with the sector to understand what's going on. That's why I spent time this morning on a webinar open to every aged-care provider in Australia and their infection control lead, to work them through any issues they might have in achieving their objective and our objective.

Senator Polley interjecting—

It's not right, Senator. Your numbers are wrong. You're living in the past, Senator. We will continue to work with the sector cooperatively to ensure that we get there. (Time expired)
