The orders will operate in the same way as state and territory domestic violence orders and can include restrictions on a person's behaviours, their communications or their movements. The challenges were enormous, yet we've been able to secure 50 million vaccines, produced by CSL in Victoria, for all Australians. Very importantly, on Sunday, the TGA approved the manufacturing processes and the plant. Last night, they approved the first of the batches, and those batches will now be continuously available as we roll out those 50 million doses.

Very significantly, as we have moved to phase 1b this week, we've seen a massive escalation in the number of vaccinations. Last week, there were 116,000 vaccinations, well above the phase 1a target of 80,000 a week. On Monday, we moved into phase 1b, which included our elderly and our immunocompromised, and I was thrilled to see today the Minister for Indigenous Australians and his counterpart, the member for Barton, help lead the Indigenous program with their vaccinations today. On Monday there were 30,000 vaccinations. Yesterday, there were 46,000 vaccinations to take it to 358,000 vaccinations nationwide—that's 46,000 in one day. And those numbers over the coming weeks will continue to grow as our general practices, with the supplies that we're able to provide, are now able to offer every Australian, progressively, the capacity for vaccination. So, as the supplies allow, the vaccines will be administered. What we've seen in the last 48 hours is evidence of that on a grand scale, which will ultimately be about saving lives and protecting lives
