Aged Care Amendment (Restoring Human Override for Aged Care Needs Assessments) Bill 2026

Senator CASH (Western Australia—Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (09:32): I move: That the question be now put. The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT ( Senator Hodgins-May ): Senator Ananda-Rajah, are you seeking to raise a point of order? Senator Ananda-Rajah: I have a contribution to make.

I'm just a little emotional because this conversation is actually, for me, dredging up some family issues. I have an 85-year-old father who's going through this, and I'm just a little distracted. I'm listening to the contributions and I appreciate them, and I do want to share my own story desperately, because I think it's very pertinent to this debate.

The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator. Let me seek some advice from the clerks. The question is that the question be put.
