Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I refer to the Prime Minister’s promise to end the buck-passing between the states and the Commonwealth on hospitals. Given that the ACT bed occupancy rates at the moment are dangerously high and that there are more than 600 people in this territory on elective surgery waiting lists, will the minister admit that the ACT hospital system—one of those ones Mr Rudd promised to fix—is in chaos, that the government has not fixed the hospital system that Labor promised it would fix and that the government has therefore broken its election promise?
