My question is for the Minister representing the Minister for Health and Aged Care, Minister Gallagher. We have had more than 265 cases of mpox, or monkeypox, since the start of the year. Scientists are also worried about avian flu coming from birds in Antarctica and spreading to wildlife and, potentially, to humans. We were caught short by the last government's response to COVID-19, even though experts had warned that a pandemic was a case of 'when, not if'. Out of the 19 recommendations from the Senate Select Committee on COVID-19, how many recommendations has your government put in full?
