Senator LUDWIG (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister Assisting on Queensland Floods Recovery) (14:56): I thank Senator Fierravanti-Wells for being one from her side to ask a policy question. In dealing with aged-care more broadly, this has, by and large, been a bipartisan issue, but the opposition are now seeking to play politics with it. What this government has done is increase the incentives for investment in aged care, which is vital to ensure that there is a sufficient supply— Senator Fierravanti-Wells: Mr President, I rise on a point of order. I do not want the generality; I want the specifics. I asked the minister a specific question and that was: how can the minister contend that he has consensus when everybody boycotted his announcement and why could he not find an aged-care facility where he could make his announcement? Instead he had to do it in the front of a church and then wrongly accused the local priest of stealing a car— The PRESIDENT: Order! That is debating it. You have made your point of order, Senator Fierravanti-Wells. The minister has been answering the question for 38 seconds. I draw the minister's attention to the question. You have one minute and 22 seconds remaining, Minister. Senator LUDWIG: Thank you. Mr Butler announced a very significant public policy for aged care, and what the opposition are now doing is focusing on the event rather than the policy that underlies it. The policy that underlies it is a very significant improvement for aged care. Those opposite continue to want to denigrate the aged-care area, where Mr Butler has lifted and improved the outcomes for aged care—and that announcement underpins that. The announcement provides significant funding for aged care. Increasing incentives through investment in aged-care is vital to ensure that there is a sufficient supply of aged-care services to meet the needs of an ageing population. That is the underlying issue, and this government is addressing that in aged care. Those opposite could do better by coming on board and joining with Mr Butler with respect to the policy rather than complaining about the event. But that is not surprising, Mr President, when all they do is focus on negativities. (Time expired)
