Oh, I can read it and so can the Australian public. That is the critical thing but let me go a little bit further than that. I have to say I have had a tremendous response in my dealings with the RACGP, with the AMA, with the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine; the heads have been tremendous to deal with—people such as the RACGP's Dr Bastian Seidel and the head of the AMA Dr Michael Gannon. They are working very constructively with us on the long-term national health plan—on the elements we are working with them on. There is no freeze in their dealings with us. I have got to say that the poor opposition shadow has yet to rise on her feet to address a single question to the current minister in nearly three months—not one question. Why would that be? She has been left in the freeze on her watch, on her time. It is not exactly a grand statement of great achievement.
