Senator McKENZIE (Victoria—Minister for Rural Health, Minister for Sport, Minister for Regional Communications and Deputy Leader of The Nationals) (15:00): Thank you, Senator Cameron, for your question because it allows me to outline for the Senate once again—we've done this a couple of times and I'm happy to do it again—the record investment that our government is putting into hospital funding through the hospital agreements with states right throughout the Federation. Since I was last able to update the Senate, we've had a few newcomers on board. The Western Australian Labor government has seen the light, the ACT Labor government has seen the light, the Northern Territory Labor government has seen the light and we've seen South Australia—thanks to a change of government in South Australia—Tasmania and New South Wales sign up to our national agreements. This will see record funding delivered to each and every state and territory government, year on year, as far as the eye can see. Senator Cameron: Mr President, I raise a point of order on relevance. My question is: does the $715 million cut to Australian public hospitals remain government policy? The PRESIDENT: Senator Cameron— Senator Cameron: I don't want the rhetoric. I want to know: is the $715 million cut still there? The PRESIDENT: Senator Cameron, you have one opportunity to restate the question, maybe, but not two. The minister is being directly relevant to the issue of funding of public hospitals, which was the question you asked. Senator McKENZIE: I know you like to frame things as cuts, and you did the same with education. It's actually not the case. On 9 February, New South Wales and Western Australia signed the heads of agreement on public hospital funding and health reform and accepted the Commonwealth's offer. What that will mean in your home state, Senator Cameron and all other New South Wales senators, is more services in hospitals, more primary health care and actually assuring those not just in Sydney but right throughout New South Wales of funding going as far as the eye can see. I'm very happy to go to the specifics of the New South Wales agreement and go through, line by line, the increase in funding that your particular state will receive, thanks to signing up to the agreement. I note, Senator Cameron, that you are not talking about what provision— (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Cameron, a supplementary question.
