Madam Speaker, I also have a question to you pursuant to standing order 105(b) in relation to replies not being received within 60 days after the question appearing on the Notice Paper. I ask you to write to the Treasurer seeking reasons for the delay in answering question No. 6 concerning foreign investors in property, question No. 7 concerning non-Australian students being permitted to buy Australian properties, and question No. 9 concerning action the government might take to combat multinational tax avoidance.

My question to you, Madam Speaker, is also under standing order 105. I would ask you to write to the Minister for Health asking for the reason that he has not answered my question on the Notice Paper for more than 60 days, that being question No. 16 about whether or not he has met with Health Workforce Australia.
