I am very fond of the member for Monash, but I want to touch on a couple of things that he said. The first thing is around wages. It really is important to point this out to the House. Those opposite are talking about the wages of those in our aged-care sector without referring to the fact that they weren't even willing to make a submission to the Fair Work Commission to increase the wages of our overworked aged-care sector. That should be their primary focus. They should be apologising to aged-care workers right around the country for not being willing to have their back on the significant wage decision that the Fair Work Commission needs to make.
