We know it is too many years. When we have an idea, rather than saying, ‘That’s a good idea; I should have thought of that,’ the minister says, ‘Tell us some more detail because I’m not sure what I’m going to do about it.’ That is his approach: no solutions, no options. It is the case with a whole range of things. If the minister is serious and interested in what he can do for diabetes, why does he not look at a couple of things that have been on the table for a long time? Why does he not look at the COAG plan that everybody else has been calling for the government to sign on to?
