Making private health insurance affordable is something that is key to Australian people. Again, I draw the senator's attention to the answers that I have given previously around the guarantees for affordability.

But isn't it interesting that those opposite again choose to find an opportunity to be critical about things that are negative for the Australian people? What we have seen last week from the health minister is a very positive announcement in relation to private health insurance reform which has been very well received not only by the Australian people but also by the sector, and it would be rather beneficial if those on the other side could occasionally be more a little more productive and positive around the issues where we are delivering for the Australian people. We are delivering real reform around private health insurance, which the Australian people will benefit from.
