Thank you. I will, as I was just doing, restate the government's position again, which has not changed: the vaccination program for Australians should be a voluntary program, where at all possible. I have indicated, on health advice through AHPPC and the national cabinet, that the Commonwealth government has supported some level of mandate, but the position of the Australian government has not changed—that this should be a voluntary program, where at all possible.
