I don't want to delay the Senate, but I just do want to put on the record that that is not what I said. The government does care and is very focused on the needs of vulnerable older Australians. That is why the proposal is that, rather than allocate supported places to a region, they are going to be provided to the individual. That is appropriate with the person centred care approach of the Aged Care Act.
