I am sorry. Senator McFadden pointed out the success and prioritisation of the screening programme and mentioned the current coverage in the media of a young woman who is dying of the disease in the United Kingdom. The Senator mentioned the savings it is hoped will be made on the e-voting system. It is unfortunate that when we talk about saving money, the money is not available to be spent on other things due to the huge hole in our public finances. However, everybody agrees that when it is possible to engage in new expenditure, that must be a priority area. Until then, the screening programme will be our main weapon for dealing with this unfortunate condition.
