Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. In 2007 Labor promised ‘a new direction for frail and older Australians’ and ‘making the transition from hospital to aged care a priority area’. Shunting money destined for the frail and aged in nursing homes to prop up failed state and territory public hospitals attacks our most frail and vulnerable and surely has to be one of the lowest acts of this government. Isn’t the government doing the opposite of what it promised in 2007?
