I want to draw to the attention of the chamber that, in the division prior to the last division, the Labor Party and the Greens, along with some of the crossbench, voted to deny the families of children suffering from the deadly cancer, neuroblastoma, of knowing what this government is doing to get them access to a lifesaving treatment, DFMO. Despite what Minister Chisholm told this place in his contribution, the minister for health has not even met the CEO of Neuroblastoma Australia.
