Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I again refer to the Liberal-Nationals cuts to women's cancer tests. I note that the report from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare indicates that people in rural disadvantaged areas are almost twice as likely to be diagnosed with cervical cancer than those in metropolitan areas. Will the National Party assistant minister explain why she has betrayed Australian country women by supporting this cruel Liberal policy?
