Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (15:03): I'm quite happy to take a question from the Deputy Leader of the Opposition about aged care, because we went to the election with a comprehensive plan to fix aged care. It included putting the nurses back into nursing homes 24 hours a day, because we know that that's one of the issues that are having an impact on emergency departments. If you don't have a nurse in a nursing home, when an elderly person gets sick they can often end up getting an acute health condition because there isn't someone on site to help them. That's what the royal commission said. That's what we're responding to. I find it just beyond comprehension that—after nine years of neglect from those opposite on aged care, after having an aged-care royal commission which made very clear recommendations—the response of the opposition is to come in here and to ask questions like this, not to ask questions— Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: I'll ask the Prime Minister to pause briefly. The Prime Minister is being relevant, so I'll call the Deputy Leader of the Opposition on a point of order. Ms Ley: On relevance, Mr Speaker, and it was a simple question: can the Prime Minister— The SPEAKER: Resume your seat. Resume your seat. The Prime Minister— Honourable members interjectin g— The SPEAKER: No. Resume your seat. I want to remind all members of the House that simply raising points of order about relevance to disrupt question time will not be tolerated, and I will simply not take the point of order if this continues. Honou rable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! I call the Prime Minister. Mr ALBANESE: Thanks very much, Mr Speaker. I'm asked a question about nurses in nursing homes, and what those opposite are saying is that it's not relevant, the consequences of not having a nurse in a nursing home 24/7. That's what they are saying. We had a very clear plan about nurses in nursing homes. We had a very clear plan about 215 minutes of care. We had a very clear plan about more accountability for the operators of nursing homes. We had a very clear plan about better nutrition in nursing homes for aged-care residents, because we know that, according to the royal commission, over half of aged-care residents were not getting the nutrition that they need. They're literally starving. This is the issue before Australians. I say to the opposition: think seriously about the impact on those people watching this at home who have mum or dad or grandpa or grandma or their sister or brother in an aged-care home, worried about the impact which is there, worried about the deficiencies that have been identified by the aged-care royal commission. And you know what they're saying around the country? They're saying, 'We want a nurse in a nursing home.' They're saying, 'We want 215 minutes of care.' They're saying, 'We want better nutrition.' They're saying they want better accountability. Those opposite just show, with this line of questioning, just how completely out of touch they are. The SPEAKER: I call the Leader of the Opposition on indulgence.
