My question is to the Prime Minister. Yesterday, the Prime Minister stated:

We are committed to providing older Australians with access to care that supports their dignity …

If that is the case, why, when he was Treasurer, in his first budget, did the now Prime Minister cut $1.2 billion from aged care? How did cutting $1.2 billion from aged care support the dignity of vulnerable older Australians?

Mr Frydenberg interjecting—

The SPEAKE R: The Treasurer will cease interjecting.
