[by video link] The Prime Minister can speak and has spoken for himself with respect to this matter. But, as I just said to the chamber, in relation to this question the Prime Minister has always reinforced the importance of vaccination. The government have continued to reinforce the importance of vaccination, and we will continue to do so. We know that getting a high proportion of Australians vaccinated is one of the paths out of this pandemic.
