They don’t want to listen, Mr President, just like they have never wanted to listen to anything that I have said, because the truth hurts. Today, over 161,000 older Australians can sleep in residential care beds, compared to less than 137,000 when you on the other side were in charge. Today there are 32,500 older Australians receiving care through community aged care packages compared to just 4,400 aged care places when the Labor Party was in power—an increase of 700 per cent.
