My question is to the Minister for Aged Care. I refer the minister to her answer last week that 869 new nurses would be needed for Labor's 24/7 nurses in aged care policy. In April, when asked about the number of nurses needed to deliver 24/7 nursing, the now Minister for Home Affairs said, 'We will need to bring in low thousands, somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000 new people.' Was the Minister for Home Affairs wrong or did you, Minister, mislead the House?
