Senator COLBECK (Tasmania—Minister for Sport and Minister for Senior Australians and Aged Care Services) (14:11): Thanks, Senator Pratt, for the question. I will continue to be cautious in the answer to this question with respect to what I say about the specifics of the allegations that have been made in this case, as I was in the question from Senator Sterle. These cases are subject to coroners' inquests. They're subject to independent review processes that have been commissioned and of course they have also been subject to a police investigation. What I will say is that nobody in this place wants to see mistreatment of any senior Australian resident in aged care in this country. That is why we called the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, so that we could conduct a comprehensive review of the sector and we could put in place the appropriate regulatory regimes that support high-quality care for all senior Australians in the country. An opposition senator interjecting— Senator Pratt interjecting— Senator COLBECK: I'll take the interjection from the other side. At the last budget, when we put billions of dollars into aged care, what did the opposition put in respect of aged care in their budget in reply? Not a single dollar. A lot of crocodile tears on the other side, but they have done nothing for decades. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: I didn't hear anything unparliamentary. Senator Wong, on a point of order. Senator Wong: And to get into withdrawals, we also have crocodile tears, which impugns what we are asking when we're asking about neglect. However, I don't propose to go down that path. I'm raising an issue of direct relevance. The minister is asked—I'm sorry? Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Wong has the call. Interjections are always disorderly and particularly unhelpful. Senator Wong: If the senator wants to say that on his feet. The PRESIDENT: I missed something completely. Senator Wong, on the point of order. Senator Abetz: She wants to be the centre of attention! Senator Wong: I don't, actually; I just want to make my point. Mr President, we're asking questions about some very serious allegations. There's one question that the minister has been asked, which is: how is the neglect continuing on his watch more than 12 months after he's received the royal commission report? I'd ask you to remind him of the question. The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, I believe the minister was being directly relevant and then responded to interjections, which was not being directly relevant. I will remind the minister of the question. I'll also remind people not to interject and therefore the distraction and the opportunity won't occur. Senator COLBECK: Thank you, Mr President. With respect to the interim report and the COVID-19 report of the royal commission, the government has responded to both of those reports. We have continued to reform the sector—passing new legislation, which places additional responsibilities on the sector. The Serious Incident Response Scheme was passed through this place only last week, so we have continued to reform the sector while the royal commission has continued and we will continue to do so. The PRESIDENT: Senator Birmingham, on a point of order? Senator Birmingham: I make a point of order in relation to conduct in the chamber and interjections. Senator Wong, in making her point of order before, demanded complete silence in the chamber before she spoke. Yet, since Senator Colbeck got back on his feet, Senator Wong has shown nothing but a lack of courtesy in listening to the answer and is showing a double standard in the behaviour she expected while she was on her feet. The PRESIDENT: All interjections are disorderly. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! I'm going to ask that people stop the interjections while I talk. It's the end of a fortnight. I'm going to ask people to restrain themselves. I was attempting to call the chamber to order. I will start raising my voice if I need to. Interjections are not helpful and they are disorderly. Senator Pratt, a supplementary question?
