Senator COLBECK (Tasmania—Minister for Sport and Minister for Senior Australians and Aged Care Services) (14:48): I reject the premise of the question—that there is a vaccine shortage. There are significant volumes of vaccines available to Australians. In fact, if someone wants to go out and get— Opposition senators interjecting— Senator COLBECK: They say they support the vaccine rollout program. They say they support both vaccines. But the scoffing across the chamber belies that. They're focused only on Pfizer and they are not concerned about AstraZeneca, which has done a large proportion of the work in the system. And I note that they have actually shortened the time frame between doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine to promote the vaccine rollout. We have supported New South Wales in respect of their vaccine rollout by putting 50 per cent of the additional vaccine doses that we got from Poland—500,000-plus doses—into New South Wales to support their rollout. We distributed the rest of the vaccine across the states on a per capita basis. So we have supported, and we will continue to support, states in the vaccination program. Today we have passed 20 million doses—a significant effort. The Labor Party should be celebrating that. The PRESIDENT: Senator Watt, on a point of order? Senator Watt: Again this is on relevance. We would like this minister to answer questions, such as: what impact— The PRESIDENT: There's no 'such as', Senator Watt. Senator Watt: Okay. Specifically the question is: what impact will the change announced by the New South Wales government have on— The PRESIDENT: That was one of the questions asked. Senator Cash? Senator Cash: On the point of order in relation to relevance, the minister was directly relevant. The first response he made was, 'I reject the premise of the question.' The PRESIDENT: That was one question amongst several asked. There was a preface. A minister cannot simply reject the premise of a question and say everything they want. They still must remain directly relevant to the material in the question. I'm listening carefully to the minister. As I heard him, he was talking about vaccine supply. It's not a place for a general address on the vaccine rollout program, but if he's talking about matters raised in the question then I believe he is directly relevant. I can't instruct him how to answer it. Senator COLBECK: We will continue to support New South Wales and other states in the vaccine rollout. In fact, to date, as I've indicated, 20,028,084 doses of vaccine have been administered across the country. Of course, both vaccines—not just Pfizer—are playing an important part in the rollout. There are different time periods in different states between doses. Victoria has extended their second doses out to six weeks, rather than three weeks, for Pfizer. The PRESIDENT: Senator O'Neill, a supplementary question?
