Well, we’ll see if you answer all these questions. Can the minister explain how the budget commitment by the Rudd government in relation to teen dental health was $510 million over three years, yet when the budget papers came out they showed it was $497 million over five years? Can the minister explain the difference between the two? Can the minister also provide advice on the methodology that was used in the discussions with the states about initial allocations to address waiting list problems in each of their hospitals? Will she release that methodology? I can repeat the question if you did not hear it, Minister.
