Well, Canberrans are asking whether the government is on our side. I welcome the additional CSPs for the medical school in Tasmania. They desperately need them, as do we here in Canberra. Yet, when you allocate 100 additional ones—on top of your 20 to Tasmania—as an election commitment, the place with the lowest GP-to-population ratio and the lowest bulk-billing rate misses out. Please, can you explain to Canberrans why we've missed out?
