The opposition too is very keen to make sure that we see 24/7 nursing care, along with all of the other provisions of the royal commission, in place, and we have certainly been willing to work with those provisions as a holistic package of reforms in response to the royal commission. I'll give you another opportunity to answer. I wasn't talking about 'our' position. I was saying you voted to support 24/7 nurses on 1 October 2022. You subsequently, within a matter of 48 hours, changed that position to 1 July 2023. I'm just keen to understand what the advice was that made you change your mind from it being 1 October 2022 to 1 July 2023?
