Senator COLBECK (Tasmania—Minister for Sport and Minister for Senior Australians and Aged Care Services) (14:12): The government has continued to support senior Australians through a number of measures over the course of recent times, including through specific and special payments, to support them through the COVID-19 pandemic. We've put a number of measures in place to support individuals who might be isolated in their homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. I reject any assertion at all that we have left any part of the community behind. We have worked as a government throughout the entire period of the pandemic to ensure that there are additional resources available for people to help them meet the cost of living. We have put supplements in place in respect of the pension— The PRESIDENT: Minister, please resume your seat. Senator Keneally, on a point of order? Senator Keneally: Direct relevance. The question was fairly tightly worded and specific as to whether or not there were the highest annual increases to the cost of living being inflicted on aged pensioners. The minister hasn't addressed that aspect of the question. The PRESIDENT: I will allow you to bring the minister back to the question. However, the question did involve some commentary in the asking of the question, which, quite frankly, means the question is not worded quite as narrowly as you say. I have allowed you to bring the minister back to the question. Minister, you have the call for 15 seconds. Senator COLBECK: The process that the government supports, and I'm presuming that the opposition supports, is to continue to support the increase in pensions on a regular cycle. I don't accept the premise that the government has left pensioners behind. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Sheldon, a second supplementary question?
