My question is to Senator Colbeck, the Minister for Aged Care and Senior Australians. Minister, on Friday the government announced $171 million additional funding for aged care, while experts acknowledge that an additional investment of $3.5 billion is what's actually needed to improve hours of care and workforce conditions and address other aged-care issues. Minister, are you going to invest the $3.5 billion that's recommended to be needed to fix the aged-care sector?
