Senator Roberts has asked questions of this kind before, I think. The last time we engaged on a health bill in this chamber he asked similar kinds of questions. There are a range of ways that the government seeks to monitor questions of integrity within both the PBS and the Medicare system. These issues are significantly beyond the terms of this bill, which, I've already explained, go to the co-contribution that may be levied within the PBS.
