My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Health and Ageing, Senator Ludwig. I refer to an article in the Age on 22 August 2009 which revealed that an increasing number of unsuspecting Australians are having their mouths filled with cheap dental prosthetics from overseas laboratories which contain toxic heavy metals. Is the minister aware of these serious allegations and what is being done by the government to protect Australians from this dangerous practice?
