All the way through we've taken the best possible medical advice. Whether it was Professors Brendan Murphy or Paul Kelly or the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee or ATAGI, we've made sure we've taken the best possible medical advice and we've made sure that we get the vaccinations out. Six and a half million Australians have already received the vaccination. I urge and encourage Australians to get that jab and to get that second jab, but I do thank Australians, on behalf of a grateful nation, for doing what they've done to keep this nation, this country best in the world and largely COVID free and COVID safe.
