The government, since January, have worked closely with the aged-care sector firstly on preparedness and then we have resourced the sector in that preparedness. We've continued to provide oversight of the sector to ensure that they are prepared but also, if they're not, that additional measures are put in place, and that's what this government will continue to do. The Labor Party can play its political 'gotcha' games all it likes, but we will continue to do exactly what we have done today in announcing additional resources and measures to support the sector as it works its way through the COVID-19 pandemic.
