I am very proud to be part of a government that is investing a record amount of Australian taxpayers' dollars in ensuring that our older Australians have choices around how they age and where they age. We are addressing the very real fact that they prefer to stay in their home; we are going to support them to do that. We are investing significant money in keeping them active. We are addressing the recommendations of the Tune review. We are delivering 14,000 home-care packages of very high quality and 13½ thousand additional residential packages. I am very proud of that investment.
