My question is to the Minister for Aged Care Services, Senator Colbeck. When former New South Wales Liberal Premier and current CEO of HammondCare Mike Baird called for the ADF to be deployed to aged-care homes to assist with the staffing crisis, Mr Morrison rebuked this suggestion, saying Defence Force personnel weren't a 'shadow workforce'. Just 26 days later, Mr Morrison backflipped. Isn't this just another example of the Morrison-Joyce government doing too little too late?
