Senator McKENZIE (Victoria—Minister for Rural Health, Minister for Sport, Minister for Regional Communications and Deputy Leader of The Nationals) (15:04): I completely reject the premise of your question. When I visit New South Wales hospitals out in the regions I'm not seeing what you're seeing. What I'm seeing is doctors working hard, nurses working hard and hospital administrators working hard with the record investment that the New South Wales government has recognised is something that's going to deliver a record number of services into the New South Wales health system. The PRESIDENT: Senator Cameron on a point of order. Senator Cameron: I simply asked: why is the government giving an $80 billion handout to big business, while the AMA is saying hospitals are doomed? The PRESIDENT: I'm going to take this opportunity before I rule on that: latitude is granted to restate terms of questions but not to simply repeat questions. The minister is directly relevant. I ask senators to keep that in mind. Senator McKENZIE: I'm really proud of our government and our record commitment for the national reform funding agreements that so many of your state colleagues have recognised have value. I'm sorry: if the AMA is saying that it's not going to work out, why has Premier McGowan signed up, why has the ACT government signed up and why has the Northern Territory Labor Party government signed up to the record funding? Senator Fifield: I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
