My question is for the Minister for Health. Will the minister update the House how the government's actions to build a stronger economy enable us to subsidise new treatments for Australian patients such as those living with spinal muscular atrophy—like Ally Clarke in my electorate—or melanoma without raising taxes? Is the minister aware of any alternative approaches to the supply of treatments recommended by the medical experts?
