Senator PAYNE (New South Wales—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for Women) (14:11): I thank Senator Keneally for her question. I don't have a full brief on this matter, but let me provide the information that I do have to the Senate. As I understand it, the New South Wales minister for health wrote to the Commonwealth minister for health, Minister Hunt, on 11 August and was responded to by phone on the same day. That was followed up by phone on 12 August, with a formal reply sent by letter on 13 August. This fact has been acknowledged and confirmed by Mr Hazzard on several occasions. On 12 August, at a press conference, Minister Hazzard, I am advised, said: 'They responded very quickly and I think Minister Hunt responded within minutes to say they would see what they could do to try to get onto it. So we just have to hope everyone's got enough staff and enough vaccines to be able to get up there and do what we need to do.' On 13 August, Mr Hazzard said: 'They've stepped up. Minister Hunt responded quite quickly. I think it was within an hour or two he responded to me and indicated that they would have the appropriate committees put in place to get the ADF working with the public health network up there with the western New South Wales local health district.' The Commonwealth responded within 24 hours by commissioning 50 ADF members for community support and compliance and also five ADF medical teams of up to 14 members each for western New South Wales. In addition— The PRESIDENT: Senator Keneally on a point of order? Senator Keneally: I do appreciate the minister's information. However—and this is a point of order on relevance—the question specifically was about Western Sydney, not western New South Wales. They are two different places. The PRESIDENT: Senator Keneally, with respect, there was a preamble to the question. The minister outlined at the beginning that they were providing the information they had available. I would be reluctant to rule what the minister is saying as not in order given the question. Senator PAYNE: As I understand it, there are already 300 ADF members on the ground in Western Sydney as part of a joint operation with the New South Wales Police Force. As at 22 August, across the12 affected local government areas of concern in Greater Sydney, 777 primary care and Commonwealth sites are administering the AstraZeneca vaccine, including 500 general practices, 266 of which are also offering the Pfizer vaccine, seven general practice respiratory clinics, four Aboriginal controlled health services and 176 community pharmacies. The PRESIDENT: Senator Keneally, a supplementary question?
