Pursuant to standing order 74(5) I ask the Minister representing the Minister for Health and Ageing for an explanation as to why an answer has not been provided to two questions on notice, Nos 2005 and 2006, which I asked on 13 June this year.

The appropriate minister is not here. It is very hard to pursue that.

I am sorry, Mr Deputy President. My office did contact Senator Santoro’s office and the minister for health’s office at one o’clock today. As I said, I did try to get the call immediately after question time.
