QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for Finance, Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Women, Minister for Government Services and Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (14:10): I thank Senator Darmanin for that question too, because the job isn't done. We know that in too many areas of our civic and economic life women and girls are not treated equally, so we are looking at each area where we can make a difference.

One of those areas is women's health, where we have had a historic investment in a women's health package, and just today the Minister for Health and Ageing announced a new breast cancer drug has been listed on the PBS. Instead of costing $1,300 a script, it will now cost just $25. And we know that hundreds of thousands of women across the country have benefited from our listing of new contraceptives and new menopause treatments, saving them hundreds of millions of dollars in those scripts that have already been taken up in just over a year.

The PRESIDENT: Senator Darmanin, second supplementary?
