Okay. The aged-care system is also a disaster-in-waiting, and if it cannot cope with the demands of today then it will truly be in crisis as our ageing population applies more pressure in the years ahead. In my state of Western Australia and elsewhere in the country, aged-care providers are rejecting offers of federal funding because the margins have been eroded to almost nothing. See? All you needed to do was wait a little bit, until after the preamble.
