My question is to the Prime Minister. Why did the Prime Minister wait until 3 August to announce a paid pandemic leave payment in Victoria, after more than a hundred aged-care residents had died? Does he agree with the South Australian Liberal Treasurer that it makes no sense for the Prime Minister to fund a scheme in Tasmania, with one active case, but not South Australia, with three? And why won't the Prime Minister make sure paid pandemic leave is available for all Australians?
