My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Aged Care and Seniors, Senator McAllister. We have heard from many South Australians who have contacted coalition offices in desperate need of home-care support. A husband and wife in their late 80s who live in the Yorke Peninsula are unable to access services in their community. This gentleman lives with leukaemia and was assessed for care two years ago but is unable to access services due to insufficient funding in the region. Minister, will you apologise to the older Australians of the Yorke Peninsula for failing to support their ageing community?
