Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Can the government explain how aged-care providers are supposed to attract high-quality staff to care for the elderly when places such as the Sale Elderly Citizens Village are going to be forced to lose money simply by increasing staff wages by a tiny three per cent because the government funding for aged care is so inadequate? Will the government commit to reversing this disgraceful funding decision?
