Mr HUNT (Flinders—Minister for Health and Aged Care) (15:06): The statement is false. I'll read exactly the statement. Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Members on my left! The minister has the call. Mr HUNT: Let me read exactly the statement. It is as we have done on every occasion. Mr Dreyfus interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Isaacs! Mr HUNT: The question was: … would over-50s concerned about the AstraZeneca jab be able to— this is from the press— get access to Pfizer or Moderna vaccines later in the year … The answer was: During the course of the year, we have said repeatedly that as there are larger numbers, over 20 million doses of Pfizer and now the Moderna supplies that could be available … then there is more than enough to vaccinate every Australian. That's a factual statement that was made on 9 April, 13 May and again on 19 May. But the next statement, which seems to have been omitted, was: But right now – and I was just speaking with Professor Brendan Murphy before coming to this – right now, we want to encourage everybody over 50 to be vaccinated as early as possible. The message is very clear: if you are not vaccinated and you catch COVID, you could die. That's the message to all Australians. There could not be a clearer message. This is what we've said right through, because we know that we have vaccines now. We've provisioned for all circumstances and we are seeing an increase in the number of Australians who are coming forward to be vaccinated. We are seeing an increase— Mr Albanese: In all circumstances? Mr HUNT: Correct. Mr Albanese interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition, the minister has the call. Mr HUNT: What we have done is make sure that we have a vaccination now for the over 50s. We have a vaccination to cover any circumstances where there is a supply disruption, and we have also adapted to ATAGI advice. We've been able to do this because we provisioned contingencies within the contracts last year. Significantly, what does this mean? It means that we've seen 512,000 Australians come forward for vaccination in the last week. It means that we have done everything we can to ensure support, encouragement and confidence in the vaccination program. I would hope that the opposition is going to support confidence in the vaccination program. I would hope that the opposition— Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Members on my left! Mr HUNT: I would hope that the opposition is not going to— Mr Dreyfus interjecting— The SPEAKER: The minister will pause for a second. I've already asked the member for Isaacs to stop interjecting. He will leave under 94(a). The member for Isaacs then left the chamber. The SPEAKER: The minister has the call. Mr HUNT: As I said last week and as we say now, right now we want to encourage everybody over 50 to be vaccinated as early as possible and we want to encourage everybody who is in a qualifying group to be vaccinated as early as possible.
