I've just indicated exactly the Prime Minister's position and the way that we are rolling out the vaccine. It would have been useful, Senator Seselja, if the senator had listened to the answer that I have just given. We have always said to the Australian people that the supply of the vaccine and the rollout process would be dependent on approval and on supply issues from manufacturers. We have been very frank with the Australian people; we have been very open with the Australian people. As issues have arisen, we have told the Australian people what is occurring. I have just given you the quote from the Prime Minister where he said it was more likely to be early April than late March for the four million vaccines. That is a statement of the Prime Minister.
