My question is to the minister for health. Last week I met with a young woman from Western Sydney about her petition to make Medicare funded access to 20 psychology sessions permanent, which has received over 41,000 signatures. She said, 'It's extremely infuriating to hear the health minister say that consumers of mental health are not asking for this decision to be overturned, when I know my supporters have sent countless emails to his office.' Why isn't the minister listening to people with lived experience, and when will the minister return the psychology sessions he cut?
