I support the National Health Amendment (Pharmaceutical Benefits) Bill 2015. And, just as Senator Leyonhjelm has his position in relation to the Pharmacy Guild, I support community pharmacies, and I do so unashamedly. In relation to the location rule that Senator Leyonhjelm will be putting up an amendment about, of course he is entitled to do so. I think debate is healthy in relation to this. I was involved in a case for a constituent who had a pharmacy. I do not think he will mind me mentioning it. It was the Midnight Pharmacy in Adelaide, on Frome Street.
