We started that line-by-line work in October, and we are continuing to go through it. As problems emerge, as departments bring forward their terminating programs, we are working through those. We are also implementing our policies we took to the last election, to invest in the health care of Australians. For example, lowering the price of medicines came in on 1 January, making a difference to the cost of living for millions of Australians. The Strengthening Medicare Taskforce has a significant budget to invest in Medicare, and we're getting on with the job of investing in and opening those 50 urgent care centres. This is what you do when you're a government that believes in Medicare and believes in the strength of the health system.
