I have a further supplementary question. Minister, this is a very straight-forward question. Why has the government chosen to prioritise concessions such as the $5½ billion going in the form of fuel tax credits that benefit industry over medical services for sick people? Why have they done it? Minister, if the age of entitlement is over, why do mining companies at the big end of town continue to get handouts while ordinary people are forced to do the heavy lifting?
