House of RepresentativesTuesday 2 September 2025

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Ms LEY (Farrer—Leader of the Opposition) (14:22): My question is to the Minister for Aged Care and Seniors. In March 2021, the now prime minister said, 'We cannot be satisfied with a situation where older Australians are dying while waiting for their home-care packages.' The minister was sworn in on 13 May this year. Since that date, how many elderly Australians have died waiting for a home-care package?

Ms Plibersek interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Minister for Social Services is warned. I don't want anyone interjecting while people are asking questions. I think that is crystal clear.
