I was just providing some much-needed context for the question which Senator Canavan was raising. We have invested billions of dollars into aged care, whether it be to retain the workforce with a wage increase, recognising that they had been undervalued and underpaid for a long period of time, or so that we can keep residential aged-care facilities, whether they be in the cities, the regions or remote Australia, available for all Australians to get the care that they deserve and that they expect.
