In terms of the specific response to support the aged-care sector, which I would hope is the real concern of every person in this House, there have been 14.8 million units of masks, 17.5 million units of gloves, 5.9 million units of gowns and 3.9 million units of goggles. All of these are real actions that have been taken to support that sector. In addition to that, the changed furlough requirements were fundamental to ensuring continuity of workforce, in both the definition of a close contact and the capacity in critical sectors such as aged care for asymptomatic close contacts to work. That's been backed up by 80,000 shifts which have been put in place by the government and, in addition, the support for workforce retention and now the ADF.
