Again Senator Polley's numbers are wrong. As I have indicated a number of times, we are determined to meet our objective and we know that the aged-care sector and the unions are happy to work with us—

Senator Polley interjecting—

Well, if that's the answer you want, ask the question, Senator. You can't even get your questions right. It's just absurd what the Labor Party are tossing up here at the moment. We continue to work with the sector to get the workers vaccinated. As of this morning, 83.4 per cent of the aged-care sector have had a first dose and 62 per cent have had a second dose.
