QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator ANANDA-RAJAH (Victoria) (14:48): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Health and Ageing, Senator McAllister. Delivering affordable health care for Australians who need it most has been a key priority of the Albanese Labor government, because when Australians are sick they shouldn't have to worry about whether they can afford the health care they need.

That includes delivering the largest cut to the cost of medicines in the history of the PBS and continuing to list more medicines every month. How is the government making more medicines cheaper and delivering real change for Australians who need it?
