The member for Ballarat could, of course, have asked me a question. The Prime Minister and first ministers, in meeting and talking about this issue, have more statements to make and have a positive and concerted response to effect, because it is not just a federal government issue; it involves state governments as well. It involves acute services. It involves primary services. It involves primary care. It involves the interests of every member of this parliament. So I am happy to communicate in a bipartisan way on these important issues, as I always do, but I do not accept the premise of the question. It is completely wrong, and it should never have been raised.
