Thank you, Mr Speaker. I can understand why those opposite have a raw nerve when it comes to talking about health care because they did nothing in government and they have done nothing in opposition and now they want to stand in the way of some of the biggest reforms to the healthcare system since a Labor government introduced Medicare 30 years ago. That is why they are touchy and that is why they do not want to hear the answer to this question.
