Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:33): Again, I'd say that Ms Wood wrote and spoke widely on economic and tax and fiscal policy prior to her appointment. She was entitled to do so. She is a well-respected economist. As head of the Productivity Commission, her position is one of independence.

I would make the point, Senator Hanson, that this government has invested an enormous amount into aged care, including improving the position of the workers.

I'm happy to remind the minister of the question in the remaining 11 seconds. Minister Wong. Senator WONG: I'll simply say that the government will make its own decisions about funding models and about eligibility, as we have in previous budgets. Ms Wood is— (Time expired)
