My question is to the Prime Minister. The aged-care royal commission heard that it is well known that many aged-care workers are employed on a casual basis and work across multiple facilities, often in three or four jobs. Given that aged-care workers moving between different facilities is a key driver of infection, why did the Prime Minister wait until 19 July when the virus was already widespread to announce the initiative that Victorian aged-care workers could work at a single facility?
