Well, I certainly heard Senator Hanson outlining a few of the areas that we have been working on, and we have been working on it. We do think that areas of women's health have been left unaddressed for too long. To not list a modern contraceptive pill for the last 20-odd years or new menopause treatments for the last 30 years is a problem, and it does need a government that's prepared to invest in it.
In relation to the question you have around the Sex Discrimination Act, which was in your first question, the Sex Discrimination Act makes it unlawful to discriminate on the basis of a range of protected attributes, including sex and gender identity. The government is not proposing to change that. (Time expired)
