Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. How can residents and families have any faith in the government’s aged care system when Mr Menere won an appeal in the AAT staying the government’s attempts to close the facility? Doesn’t this leave open the possibility, as claimed by Mr Menere, that the nursing home may reopen? Eleven years after introducing its new aged care system, why hasn’t the government ensured that vulnerable, frail Australians are safe from Mr Graeme Menere?
