My question is to the Prime Minister. Why has a government senator claimed that 680 aged-care deaths are not relevant on the very same day the aged care royal commission heard that one in five Australians in residential aged care has received substandard care and levels of abuse are 'a national shame'? Why has the Prime Minister racked up $1 trillion of Liberal debt and $100 billion of new spending in the budget but not fixed this broken aged-care system, which, according to the royal commission, is characterised by neglect?
