My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Health and Ageing, Senator Gallagher. With the community pharmacy agreements playing a crucial role in ensuring Australians have access to safe, affordable and life-saving medicines, can the minister detail the government's intentions regarding the negotiations of the new Community Pharmacy Agreement? How does the government plan to build on the legacy of the PBS, introduced 75 years ago by the Curtin Labor government, to continue providing affordable medicines? What are the specific strategies to enhance the role of community pharmacies in our health system?
