Senator PAYNE (New South Wales—Minister for Human Services) (14:46): The Minister for Trade has made it quite clear what his view is of the supposed leaked documents, and has said they are basically just 'another beat-up'. The minister has said: As I have made clear repeatedly, the government will not support outcomes that would increase the prices of medicines for Australians or adversely affect our health system more generally; end of story. Nor would we accept outcomes that undermine our ability to regulate or legislate in the public interest in areas such as health. What the minister has indicated—and what has been the subject of, as I understand it, over 1,000 public consultations held by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in the development of the TPP—is: The TPP has transformational promise with the potential to help drive growth, jobs and higher living standards. The key focus of our involvement is to materially advance— Senator Whish-Wilson: Mr President, I rise on a point of order on relevance. I very specifically asked the minister: 'Is Australia prepared to extend the time taken for medicines to become generics or that medicines like biologics will have their data and market exclusivity period extended?' The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Whish-Wilson. You did preface your question, and the question related to a leaked document. The minister answered that very directly up front, then she also categorically ruled out some of the issues concerning the prices. The minister still has a minute left to answer her question, but I think she has been directly relevant.
