AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)-(3) As previously advised, the Government is not willing to allow its response to the recommendations of the Community Drug Summit to become a political football, which is exactly what the member would like to make it. The minister has previously advised members that the Government will respond after the 2001 federal election, and that situation remains the same.
