Senator FIFIELD (Victoria—Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Assistant Minister for Social Services) (15:04): I should also remind colleagues that one of our election commitments which we are delivering in full is $200 million for dementia research. It also bears repeating that the severe dementia behaviours supplement was not base funding for aged-care providers who are supporting people with dementia. It was intended for a very specific and narrow cohort—people with severe behaviours in relation to dementia. I should also indicate that in the budget we increased the base subsidy to aged-care providers by 2.4 per cent. Indeed, we repurposed $1.1 billion about which the previous government said to aged-care providers, 'You can have this only if you enter a union enterprise agreement.' We thought that was not fair, so we said to aged-care providers— Senator Polley: Mr President, I rise on a point of order. I would like you to draw the minister to respond and to be relevant to the question of why the government is attacking those people who are most in need. The PRESIDENT: The minister has 11 seconds left to answer the question. I draw the minister's attention to the question. Senator FIFIELD: I am being remorselessly relevant to the question. We said to aged-care providers that we would give them back that $1.1 billion. We have. They know better how to spend it— (Time expired) Senator Abetz: Mr President, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
