I'll take the interjection from Senator Ruston, who insists on forgetting that you presided over a period in aged care which a royal commission described as neglect. So, for you to come in here, Senator Ruston, in the way you have, you ought to remember and bear on your conscience that you presided, in your government, over a system that was described as neglect. We are putting in an additional $3.7 billion, just in this budget, and we are working to ensure more care is provided. The position that Ms Staniland was in is not what we want older Australians to experience, and Minister Rae has asked that the matter be reviewed. (Time expired)
