Australia news live: PM condemns Virgin boss’s ‘insensitive’ comments that border should open even if it results in deaths

This is a national disgrace. The fact that less than a thousand people, who have disabilities of the roundabout 26,000 who are provided with support, so an immunisation rate of under 4% have received support.

Aged care residents and people with disabilities were people who were supposed to both be at the front of the queue. They were in the first stage.

We were told that four million Australians would be vaccinated by the end of March. This government’s been complacent and the consequences of that have been very concerning for some of the most vulnerable people in our community.

The government had two jobs this year: to get the vaccination rollout right and to fix quarantine. It’s done neither. They have been complacent in both areas. Whether it is vaccinating older Australians, whether it’s vaccinating people with disabilities, whether it is the establishment of appropriate quarantine facility, they just haven’t delivered.
