Mr Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order. These three pieces of legislation are about the payment of MBS and PBS items not to staff working in hospitals but to independent midwives and nurse practitioners working outside hospitals. The member for Dickson needs to bring his comments to a relevant point. I note he still has not said that he supports our nurses in this bill.
