Yes, that's right. Go personal, Helen. It's typical of the Labor Party. Just go personal. When you've lost the argument, go personal. You do it all the time. You've got no shame at all. The Labor Party has absolutely no shame at all.

Senior Australians, which are who we're talking about, can't get a home-care package. Over 100,000 of them are waiting. The waiting list is blowing out; it got to 130,000. It's shameful what this government allowed to happen, after all the hard work that was put in by everybody involved to get the home-care waiting list back down. The fact that there is now no human involvement in the assessment of aged-care packages, except for putting in the data, is an absolute disgrace. Quite frankly, I don't know why the government just doesn't do something to fix it.
