Senator McALLISTER (New South Wales—Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme) (14:36): Thank you, Senator Blyth, for the question. I acknowledge the chamber's genuine interest over some time in ensuring that older Australians and older people in our community get safe, dignified and high-quality aged care. That why in the last term of parliament our government, and in particular the now Minister for Communications, did so much work in this area collaboratively across the chamber, passing the new Aged Care Act with support from the opposition. This should be above politics. Senator Blyth: A point of order. The question was very tight. We're just looking for a number here. The PRESIDENT: The question went to the priority list for home-care packages, and it asked for a number. The minister is being relevant to the question. Minister McAllister, please continue. Senator McALLISTER: Home-care packages have hit a record high: 306,000 home-care packages. They have helped cut average waiting times ahead of that transition to the new Support at Home program, which, as you know, starts on 1 November. Senator Ruston interjecting— Senator McALLISTER: I'll take that interjection, Senator Ruston. In March 2019 those waiting times peaked at around three years—three years waiting time in 2019 for a level 4 medium-priority home-care package. That's right. A government senator: Who was the health minister? Senator McALLISTER: Who was the health minister—great question. We are quite aware that there is more work to do, and that's why the reforms that have been passed through this place are so significant and why our investments are so significant. We are looking forward to the circumstance where we can roll out more home-care packages to make sure that people are getting the support that they require, because everybody—all Australians—deserves dignity in their older years. The PRESIDENT: Senator Blyth, first supplementary?
