I thank Senator Tyrrell for her second supplementary question. In my experience, we have a very fine minister in Minister Butler, a minister from South Australia, who does listen to experts but, more importantly, who does listen to the community. What the community is telling Minister Butler is that they want us to rebuild the Medicare system. That's what this government is doing. So, to the extent that any people that you're referring to want to contribute to rebuilding the Medicare system, of course I'm absolutely certain that Minister Butler will be listening to them.
