Mr President, I have a further supplementary question. Given that Gippsland’s over-65 population is expected to double from 41,000 to 85,000 by 2026 and given that operating expenses such as electricity, gas and water are increasing by 20 to 50 per cent annually, does the government have a proper plan for managing aged care or does it plan to handle it like it has handled its policy on asylum seekers and pink batts—that is, bad policy and policy on the run?
