Like the member for Griffith, this is my first time in this House. The last election was my first campaign; I will recall it well for the rest of my life. However, I do not recall during the election campaign seeing the coalition promise that once elected it would increase the price of prescriptions for Australians. I do not recall the coalition, before it was elected, promise that it would introduce a two-tiered medical system in the country. I do not recall the promises to tear up universal health care in Australia. Maybe this was my neglect; maybe this was in a sealed section in the coalition's Real Solutions policy pamphlet. You know those sealed sections in women's magazines, Mr Acting Deputy Speaker, where they keep the obscene bits that you do not want the public to read.
