I will keep my contribution on this short because I realise that we can run out of time very quickly. The Greens support this bill. We recognise this is another step in the process of reforming aged care and the Living Longer Living Better program. I note that we are supporting this bill as non-controversial because it has the support of the key stakeholders, consumers and providers, therefore we think it is worthy of support. The implementation of this is in the guts of what comes next, and we will be watching that very closely.
