I'm not sure Australians in hospital would suggest that you've been managing this effectively. Minister, Australia has sovereign manufacturing capability of saline IV fluids and your government was given a significant warning of the impending shortage. Since the minister became aware of the issue last year, what discussions has he or have the Albanese government had with Australia's saline manufacturer, Baxter, to see how they could support them to expand their capacity?
