My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, can you inform the parliament why the government’s chronic disease dental program has, over the past three years, assisted only 14 preschoolers across the entire country and only one child under five in Queensland? Prime Minister, why do you prefer this hopeless program, which helps only a handful of children rather than assisting the up to 650,000 people languishing on the waiting lists and the up to one million Australians who could benefit from Labor’s plan?
