Pressure on the federal Aged Care Minister is mounting after the Senate passed a motion demanding he provide an explanation over the COVID-19 crisis in aged care. A Coalition MP has also called on the government to provide more funding to aged care.


Senator Wong says the government needs to accept blame for its failures in handing the aged care emergency response.

Opposition leader Anthony Albanese added pressure in Question Time.

For days the Prime Minister has stood firm, arguing that funding for the sector has actually increased by $1 billion every year.

But the criticism is also coming from his own side.

Liberal MP Russell Broadbent says he's been saying this was a disaster waiting to happen - but his warnings were ignored.

Amid the fallout from the aged care crisis, the Government is also dealing with the economic fallout from the pandemic. It's introduced legislation to extend its JobKeeper wage subsidy. It'll be tapered and broken into two tiers.

From September, the rate of JobKeeper will drop from $1,500 a fortnight to $1,200. The second rate will be $750. And, from next year it'll fall even further.

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg says the scheme has been a success.
