Thank you, Mr Speaker. My question is to the Prime Minister. Quality aged care needs a properly supported workforce. The aged-care workforce is highly casualised and low paid. Why won't the Prime Minister support a permanent wage increase for these exhausted workers to help relieve critical workforce shortages affecting the care of vulnerable residents?
