I think the only ones who are being disingenuous here, Senator, are the Liberals. Where have you been in the last six months in any of these consultations? We are so close to getting this piece of legislation across. You know, and every single senator on that side who is going to oppose this knows, how important this is to our country, especially the health of our children. You also know, from the answers that I provided here, that we have had continuous discussions with the Pharmacy Guild, with pharmacies, with GPs and with the medical fraternity. We know that, across every state and territory jurisdiction, there is support behind this, from every chief health officer and every public health group including the AMA, the Royal Australian College of GPs, the Cancer Council and many others. So please let's have a really good look at who's being disingenuous here.
