Senator FARRELL (South Australia—Minister for Trade and Tourism, Special Minister of State and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (15:01): I thank Senator Ruston for the question.

We want the neglect of the previous government to end and— Senator Ruston: Again, a point of order on relevance: my question was very specific about a guarantee that the actions of the government— Senator Polley interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Polley! Just a moment, Senator Ruston. Order on my right! Senator Ruston: As I said, on relevance, my question was very specific in relation to a guarantee by the government that no nursing homes would close down as a result of the actions of this government. I don't believe the minister has gone anywhere near the question. Th e PRESIDENT: You also talked about workforce challenges, and the minister is being relevant to the question. Minister Farrell, please continue. Senator FARRELL: False and misleading claims that aged-care homes will be forced to close are irresponsible and not based on any fact. They cause unnecessary alarm, and I'm disappointed in you, Senator Ruston. They cause unnecessary panic, stress and alarm. The PRESIDENT: Minister Farrell, please resume your seat. Senator Ruston. Senator Ruston: President, I'd just ask you if you might ask the minister if he reflects on the accuracy of his answers. The PRESIDENT: That's not a point of order, Senator Ruston. Please continue, Senator Farrell. Senator FARRELL: I am happy to reflect on the accuracy of my answers, and I think they are accurate— (Time expired) Madam President, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper. The PRESIDENT: Senator Farrell, is leave granted to table the speech that Senator Birmingham earlier sought to table? Senator FARRELL: Yes—that very fine speech.
