Just to be very clear: are you telling this parliament, this chamber, that the Pharmacy Guild of Australia supports the decision of the government to move to an S3 model for the sale of vapes in Australia? That's what you appear to have just said, although I don't think you specifically and explicitly said that, but I would like you to advise this chamber: have you ever had receipt from the Pharmacy Guild to say that they support your decision to move to the S3 model? What you've just described was a commentary from Mr Twomey when an S4 model was before this chamber and was the government's policy. Have you any evidence whatsoever to substantiate your claim that the Pharmacy Guild support the decision of this government to change their position about the need for a GP prescription to access vapes in this country?
