Indeed I will. That is why I call tonight on the health minister to intervene in this particular case, because it is unacceptable that the bureaucratic process is still bogging down this particular issue. This government has this bill, which is an important bill, before the House tonight, and the government has the support of the coalition in relation to this bill. We have a health system in this country which is in crisis. The point that I make, by way of example through Pauline’s case, in relation to this very important debate, is that this government gave a commitment to this dying young woman that they would cut the bureaucratic process, but they have not. So the call, again, for this government is to make sure that they put aside the bureaucratic nonsense and provide a better outcome for Pauline Talty.
