Minister, since your government's nurse requirement came into effect, aged-care homes that are eligible for the exemptions you've mentioned have been forced to report every 30 minutes that they do not have a registered nurse on site. These are rural and remote aged-care homes already facing significant challenges that now face significant administrative burdens because of your government's decisions. Sadly, as I've said, we've already seen facilities close because of this. How many more exempted homes will close because of the government's punitive requirements?
