To the Honourable the Speaker and members of the House of Representatives in the Parliament assembled. The humble petition of certain citizens of Australia respectfully showeth:

That whilst acknowledging the Government's desire to contain the growth in health costs, the introduction of 61 new drugs to the `Authority Required' listing will result in potentially serious delays in patients receiving medication prescribed by their doctors.

Your petitioners request the House to immediately reverse the Government's decision and withdraw these drugs from the `Authorities Required' list.

And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
