QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Ms LEY (Farrer—Leader of the Opposition) (14:01): My question is to the Minister for Aged Care and Seniors. Yesterday the minister gave three different explanations for why Labor is breaking its promise to deliver an additional 83,000 home-care packages. First he blamed the sector, then he blamed elderly Australians, and by the end he seemingly blamed the now minister for communications and her legislation.

Minister, was the home-care package rollout delay a decision of the minister or a decision of the Minister for Health and Ageing, or was it endorsed by the cabinet? Ms Catherine King interjecting— The SPEAKER: Yes, I'm sure the minister will handle that.
