Senator NASH (New South Wales—Deputy Leader of The Nationals in the Senate and Assistant Minister for Health) (14:12): It would come to the surprise of none on this side of the chamber that the coalition remains committed to a very strong health workforce. Our goal is to consistently reduce the gap in service delivery whether you live in Canberra, Cairns, Cudal, Kununurra—anywhere across this nation—and we will do it far better than the previous government did. Of that this chamber can be very sure. We know that a range of programs have received commentary of late and there has been some around Health Workforce Australia, and I do understand that. Interestingly, this side of the chamber is going to appropriately ensure the delivery of health services, unlike those on the other side who spent year after year wantonly spending taxpayers' dollars and not appropriately addressing the issue of health delivery at the primary cause. Senator Moore: Mr President, I rise on a point of order going to relevance. There are now 52 seconds to go and there has been no answer to the specific question. The PRESIDENT: There is no point of order. The minister has been addressing the question and the minister has 52 seconds, quite correctly, to go. Senator NASH: I appreciate there are concerns out in the community about the delivery of health in our communities, and predominantly those concerns are because the previous Labor government did such a terrible job at health delivery. Who can forget the fact that it was the previous Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, who said in 2007— Senator Moore: Mr President, I rise on a point of order, again on relevance. In terms of the specific question, the answer has not been coming from the minister. She goes onto the history—her perceived history—rather than the answer to the question. The PRESIDENT: The minister still has 26 seconds remaining and the minister should address the question. Senator NASH: I am addressing the question, because I will indeed indicate to the chamber that it will be this government that appropriately addresses the issue of health delivery, including issues such as clinical placement, in a far better way than the previous government ever did.
