Labor frontbencher Penny Wong has launched a scathing attack on Aged Care Minister Richard Colbeck, slamming her Senate colleague as 'incompetent'. Follow our live coverage:

AdvertisementTwo new aged care facilities have registered COVID-19 cases in Melbourne over the past 24 hours.

The Victorian government is only releasing compiled data on the 10 aged care facilities with the highest cumulative cases of coronavirus. A visibly stunned Karvelas asked why the Opposition foreign affairs spokeswoman would make such a "strong" statement. Senator Wong said the minister's claim that the government could not have planned for the withdrawal of the entire aged care workforce at COVID-19 infected facilities in Melbourne, despite having seen how the virus wiped out the workforce at Newmarch House in Sydney months earlier,"We watch him in the Senate, talking about process and webinars and letters," she said.

Ram Bharadwaj from Travelodge, Shaun D'Cruz from Crown, Stephen Ferrigno from Sheraton, Rosswyn Menzies from Rydges and Karl Unterfrauner from Stamford Plaza will all appear for questioning.Australia Post has warned people to get cards and gifts for Father’s Day in the mail at least a week in advance, citing a huge rise in demand since Victoria went into stage four restrictions.

Really you actually attacking because of numbers which affects nothing , yet your Labor party caused largest deaths in aged care under your watch , really Penny Wong your laughable

Harsh, but fair. Go Penny! (Wish Albo, would take on some of her uncompromising fire).

Minister must resign. Public have no confidence.

Good credibility, calls the shots,without mincing, her words.great coverage, via twitter..

Colbeck had no idea how many had died, under his sham scheme.

MSMWatchdog2013 She’s not wrong. The government members are all pretty incompetent. Colbeck especially.

So she should. How can a minister not know how many deaths have occurred because of covid. Its callous and I feel for the families with lost love ones who now know this cold hearted, couldnt give a shit moron is the federal minister. What a joke. SackHim.

Coming from one of the most incompetent ministers in living memory her 'scathing attack' seems more like a wet lettuce leaf.

Butt Penny is right, the man needs to be in a nursing home himself.

Wong’s constant bitter hiss.

Very much trustworthy

I wouldn't trust Wong , full stop

Fair enough Penny . What you think of Dan Andrews hotel quarantine job. Was he competent?

Oh yeah cos' Penny Wong was such a great Finance Minister when Labor in Power the most of the most incompetent or for that matter any portfolio she has held she's been hugely incompetent. And what is Labor ranting about Aged Care they did sweet FA for Aged Care when in Power

Never liked Labour. But Wong is right. ScottMorrisonMP needs to sack his minister .... fast. Australia covid19australia
