Ms RISHWORTH (Kingston) ( 15:34 ): Well, of course, the government had two jobs this year that they should have been firmly focused on—that is, to fix up quarantine and, indeed, roll out the vaccine. Of course, when the government started failing at rolling out the vaccine, instead of committing to the Australian people by saying, 'We need to do better and we need to change things', what did they do? The Prime Minister of this country told the Australian people, 'It's not a race', that it's not a race and that we just need to go slowly on it. We heard the Prime Minister say that it's not a race, and then we heard the minister now at the table just say that the vaccine isn't the first line of defence. If we want to talk about the recovery and if we want to get back to some sort of normality then the rolling out of the vaccine and safe quarantine are a race. That's what the Australian people expect and that's what the Australian people deserve. The Australian people worked hard in 2020; they followed the public health orders and they did everything that was expected of them. They cancelled funerals, they cancelled weddings and they missed out on so many things. It's not much to ask their government to actually meet them and ensure that they're protected and supported. This government have failed to do the two basic jobs that they should have been firmly focused on. Without getting these two important jobs right, we will not be able to get back to our new normality. We will not be able to ensure that we can move freely across this country, that people are able to celebrate together, be together and be reunited. Those things are critically important. I think that this week, of all weeks, when the Australian people are seeing the lockdown that happened in Melbourne and now the restrictions coming in Sydney they'll really be scratching their heads about why in this place, in Canberra, we're not talking firmly about the vaccine rollout and quarantine but instead about having a new Deputy Prime Minister. In fact, those on the other side have been so focused internally—so focused on their own jobs—that indeed they have rolled the Deputy Prime Minister to install a new one. I think the Australian people would be very disappointed at these types of actions. If we're going to get back to normal we need to ensure that we have vaccines and quarantine correct. If we don't do that we'll fall behind in the recovery race. We will fall behind the rest of the world and will fall behind for so many people. We need to get Australians back to working the hours they want and need, and early education and learning are of course critical parts of that. So while we should have been talking about how to fix the botched vaccine rollout and how to fix quarantine, instead what we've had from the government is a debate about whether child care is actually important or not. We've heard that those on the other side had a big debate in their party room on whether or not they believe that working women who use child care are just outsourcing their parenting. Another coalition MP is reported to have said that they might be forced back to work. While we on this side of the House are talking about how we can support the Australian people, how we can fix the botched vaccine rollout and how we can fix national quarantine, those on the other side are having a flashback to the 1950s. They're talking about whether or not child care is actually needed in this country. If we're going to recover from this pandemic and if we're going to get Australians back to work with the hours they need and want then we cannot have those on the other side destroying our early education system, questioning its importance or indeed questioning whether or not women who use child care are actually just outsourcing their parenting. That is an insult to so many women working across this country and it has no role when we talk about the recovery from this pandemic; it has no role in ensuring that this country gets back on its feet. The government needs to do better when it comes to the vaccine rollout and quarantine, and it should stop these internal— (Time expired)
