Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I refer to comments by Marcus Riley, Acting Chairman of Leading Aged Services Australia, that, and I quote:

This funding withdrawal will have a devastating impact on individuals who need extra support. Our research shows that it will also damage industry's ability to invest in training and dementia-specific care environments.

Does the minister agree?
