I am getting to that. As recently as within the last hour or so, the AMA President, Brian Owler, has noted concerns. But he went on to say, as I said earlier, that the important thing is the minister is leading the way, in terms of the consultation, to look at how we make the system sustainable. Unlike the senator, those across the sector, including those like Professor Brian Owler, recognise that we need to find ways to make the system sustainable and, indeed, are working constructively to do so. People across the profession, across the sector, have welcomed the consultation and welcome the opportunity to have input into ensuring that sustainability.
