My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Aged Care and Senior Australians. The government's own data shows that the waiting list for home-care packages dropped by just 2,000 over the first six months of this year. At this rate, it will take 26 years to clear the home-care waiting list. What will the government do to accelerate the provision of home-care packages, and by what date does it expect to have provided home-care packages to every Australian entitled to one?
