We know that. We were talking about the F1 single-brand drugs before they come off patent. The minister gave examples of how some of these drugs are much cheaper in Britain than they are in Australia. The PBS is paying through the nose for them. I asked if these drugs coming onto the PBS will be at lower prices or equivalent prices to those overseas, at the lowest possible price, because of these amendments.
