My question is to the Prime Minister. Yesterday I wrote to him about a relatively small number of Australian children who live with a condition called inborn error of metabolism including PKU. It is a rare genetic condition that requires medically prescribed food. Will the Prime Minister reconsider his budget cut of more than $250 a month that goes to each of these 900 families?
