as we are able to have the review. The only comfort that I suppose I take from all that is that the government was accommodating in bringing forward the review into accommodation to July 2026. Hopefully we'll be able to get a resolution that will be able to provide much more transparency, equity and fairness when it comes to the payment of accommodation component of people's aged-care payments when they're in residential care. I commend Senator Pocock for his amendment and look forward to working with him over the coming months to make sure that we get this accommodation review resolved so that we can get that fairness into the system.
