I almost feel sorry for Senator Van for being asked to ask that question. Those who wrote it know very well that there is no cut to health funding in Victoria. They know very well what has happened there.

We look forward to working with the Victorian government. We look forward to a re-elected Dan Andrews government—after Saturday's election—to deliver on these important infrastructure commitments and to work in partnership with them. Do you remember that, where you have federal and state governments working together in the interest of the nation? We look forward to that. We look forward to continuing that, delivering on our election commitments and working with the Victorian government on infrastructure and, importantly, on health to make sure that Australians have the healthcare system and the infrastructure they deserve from governments that are mature enough and responsible enough to work together.
