Mr President, could I repeat Senator Boyce's interjection: what about the infusion costs? I also ask the minister a further supplementary question. Has he seen Ms Plibersek's press release which says that she will have a look at the cost of chemotherapy if prices are too high, acknowledging that the decisions of this government have caused that problem. Will the minister now concede that the government has no capacity to properly manage these sensitive health issues and will do anything to fill its $120 billion great big budget black hole in unfunded promises?
