Again, as I said, I'm not interested in playing Labor's word games, because my focus and the Prime Minister's focus in all of our conversations in relation to aged care is how we assist the sector and work our way through the COVID-19 pandemic. That's been our focus all along. Have we got everything right? No, we haven't, and we've admitted that. We've had the courage to admit that. We haven't played nasty personal games like the Labor Party have. We haven't gone down that track. There's been not a single constructive discussion or contribution from those on the other side! But we have put all of the resources of government towards the support of the aged-care sector, and that's what we will continue to do. We are very comfortable continuing to work cooperatively with the aged-care sector—the providers, who we talk to on a regular basis, and their peaks—in the case of helping them to work their way through the current situation.
