My question is to the minister representing the Minister for Health, Senator Ludwig. I refer the minister to the government's decision to effectively deport 80 Australian-trained medical students after its failure to fund their internships and the breakdown in negotiations with the states. Does the minister agree that people studying medicine in Australia have a reasonable expectation of being provided internships in Australia in order to complete their qualifications?
