My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Senior Australians and Aged Care, Senator Scullion. I refer the minister to the 2016-17 budget papers, which bear the name of then Treasurer Morrison. In particular I refer the minister to page 101 of Budget Paper No. 2, which states:

The Government will achieve efficiencies of $1.2 billion over four years through changes to the … Aged Care Funding Instrument …

Can the minister confirm that, in his first budget as Treasurer, Prime Minister Morrison cut $1.2 billion from aged care?
