My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the government's decision to cut $10 million funding for a life-saving cancer workforce program in Western Australia. Why has the Prime Minister already broken his election promise that there would be no cuts to health care?

We will entirely keep our pre-election commitments. I have no knowledge of the claim that you have made. I will look into it and, if there is more to be said, I will say it.
