My question is to the minister representing the Minister for Senior Australians and Aged Care, Senator Scullion. In an interview for the Four Corners program to be broadcast tonight, the minister said:

A royal commission, after two years and maybe $200 million being spent on it, will come back with the same set or a very similar set of recommendations …

When was the minister first advised of the change in the government's policy? Was it before or after his interview with Four Corners?
