My question is to the Minister for Aged Care, Senator Colbeck. I refer to the minister's statements regarding the retention bonus for aged-care workers. Yesterday the minister said:

We never said at any point in time that these support bonuses would be tax free. That was never said.

Does the minister concede that his media release of 20 March 2020 described the payments as 'after tax'?
