Senator COLBECK (Tasmania—Minister for Aged Care and Senior Australians and Minister for Youth and Sport) (14:23): Thanks, Senator Wong, for the question. What I'd say to that patient who's waiting is: as of today, that package is much closer, because we've just put 10,000 additional packages into the system. And can I say that I find it very difficult to take any criticism from the Labor Party with respect to the funding of home care packages, because at the last election they went to the Australian people with a $387 billion bill for additional taxes—$387 billion in additional taxes, including taxing older people—and they did not include one additional home care package. Not one additional home care package did the Labor Party put in their policy at the last election. The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator Colbeck! I've got Senator Wong on a point of order. Senator Wong: My point of order goes to direct relevance. The question is: what is this minister, who is responsible, saying to the 95-year-old woman about her 22-month wait? It is not directly relevant to the question to discuss what happened at an election which returned you for your seventh year in government. This is your responsibility. The PRESIDENT: I think it is fair to say that the minister was straying a touch from the terms of direct relevance, but as you rose I note that he was talking about home care packages, which I do consider to be directly relevant. But, Senator Colbeck, the point Senator Wong raises on direct relevance is valid with respect to the issue immediately preceding that. Senator COLBECK: My very first words were that the home care package for that person is much closer as of today's announcement. Clearly, the Labor Party are still very sensitive about the fact that they had $387 billion in new taxes and not a single home care package. (Time expired)
