Continued the debate
Leeser stated that the Coalition would not oppose the bill and supported the establishment of the permanent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Aged Care Commissioner. Leeser noted that the government had required over four years to implement this Royal Commission recommendation. Leeser argued that the remainder of the bill consisted largely of technical repairs and the permanent legislation of interim arrangements previously managed through Henry VIII powers. Leeser contended that these measures were administrative clean-ups that did not address fundamental failures in the aged care system.
