My question is to the Minister for Health and Ageing. I like science and I like facts! It's been over a year since the Standing Committee on Health, Aged Care and Sport made 23 recommendations following its inquiry into the state of diabetes mellitus in Australia. With obesity costing our health system around $12 billion a year every year and the rate of diabetes in Australia reaching crisis point, when will the government release its response to this inquiry and get on with the job of improving the health of Australians?
