I will certainly convey the Senator's request to the Minister. I wish to draw to the Senator's attention a press statement the Minister issued on Tuesday last, in which he confirmed there will be no extension of the deadline. It is important that we all appeal to people to be mindful of the deadline. As we know and appreciate, the more young people who take out insurance, the less of a liability there will be on the older generation. In time everyone will experience that stage of life and will depend on younger people to help them. It is very important that people abide by the deadline to take out insurance before it expires.
