My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the government's decision to cut funding from the Inborn Error of Metabolism Program, affecting children suffering from PKU, a rare genetic condition that requires a specialist low- or no-protein diet. Prime Minister, I met some of these children and their families in Canberra today. Your Minister for Health, unfortunately, did not. When will the Prime Minister reverse his budget cut of more than $250 a month from these 900 families across Australia?
