I am sure all Senators are receiving the same volume of complaints. There is a difficulty with discretionary medical cards which is impacting on people. The Senator can smile, but there is much hurt and confusion among many families and individuals.

The Opposition has a responsibility to hold the Government to account. It may not be helpful for the Minister to go back to what was said during elections.
