I will start with the questions from the member for Boothby. He was asking about the Victorian advertising campaign. That is not actually in this budget, so he will need to find another opportunity to ask about that. The question seems to be: why would you have a Medicare campaign when people know about Medicare? As I said earlier to the member for Boothby, there are a range of new services that are being provided by Medicare that people need to know about. They are excellent new services. The expanded after-hours GP helpline is such a help, particularly to parents in the middle of the night.
