The government wants Ms Menzies and her family, just as we do with Mr Boss, to be able to access medical support. This is a Labor government. This is a government that has put more money and funding into Medicare than any previous government because health is such a priority for us and for the country. In terms of supply and price, I'd refer you to my earlier answer. We've sought to put more fuel into regional Australia through the release from the minimum stockholding obligations. We are seeking to obtain more fuel through underwriting private sector purchases of more fuel on the open market, and we are working with the private sector and states and territories to deal with distribution issues.
