Senator RUSTON (South Australia—Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate) (15:34): It's also been reported this week that significant challenges faced by the sector under your government have resulted in an overall reduction in aged-care beds of 325 over the last four months. This is happening at a time when demand for aged care is expected to increase, with the minister herself consistently warning that the boomers are coming. Minister, can you guarantee that aged-care places will not continue to decrease under your government? Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Before I call the minister, I would ask for silence in the chamber.
