Senator LUDWIG (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister Assisting on Queensland Floods Recovery) (14:43): I thank Senator Xenophon for his question. As I said in answer to Senator Macdonald, on 1 December the price the government pays for the cancer drug docetaxel will drop by 70 per cent, bringing the price the government pays into line with the market price. For many years, pharmacists have been charging the government 20 to 75 per cent— Senator Xenophon: Mr President, I rise on a point of order. The minister is not being relevant. He has previously attempted to answer Senator MacDonald's question. The issue is: how will it affect cancer patients and their families? He is not addressing that fundamental issue.
