MAN () (): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Health and Aged Care, Senator Gallagher. Today, in a move that speaks volumes about their priorities, the coalition have tried to deny Australians access to the Albanese Government's 60-day dispensing policy. At a time when Australians are already grappling with escalating cost-of-living pressures, how would this have exacerbated the financial strain on families and individuals who rely on these essential medicines? Can the minister articulate the real-world consequences for the millions of Australians living with chronic conditions?
