Ms KEARNEY (Cooper) (14:54): My question is to the Prime Minister. Today the shadow minister met with Christine from Penrith, who has spent 16 years caring for aged-care residents. Christine says things have got much worse under this government and residents are no longer getting the care they deserve. She's made the difficult decision to leave. Why hasn't the Prime Minister addressed the chronic workforce shortage affecting aged-care workers and the people in their care? The SPEAKER: The standing orders prevent the same question from being asked again—well, it certainly seemed identical. Government membe rs interjecting— The SPEAKER: I'm very appreciative of the gratuitous advice from members on my right but, as members on my right know, I am able to give a member an opportunity to rephrase a question. But, on this occasion, it's not a matter of rephrasing the question. That question was out of order because it was, to the extent that I'm able to tell—and I don't have the wording in front of me—identical. I think the House accepts your mea culpa, Member for Cooper. I will give the member for Cooper the call on this occasion. Mr Dutton interjecting— The SPEAKER: That's out of order, Leader of the House. The member for Cooper has the call. Ms KEARNEY: My question is to the Prime Minister. Would Australia's aged-care system have been better equipped to cope with the deadly COVID outbreaks if the Prime Minister had not made a $1.7 billion cut when he was Treasurer?
