The Minister for Aged Care and Seniors has repeatedly claimed that there were 'around 87,000 Australians waiting for a home-care package'. But this morning in the Senate, under pressure from me, you confirmed that there were 108,924 elderly Australians waiting for the care that they'd been assessed as needing as at 31 July 2025. Minister, for how long have you been holding this information?
