CENTOFANTI:</by>  In August this year, a 47-year-old father tragically died of a heart attack in his car whilst pulled over on the side of the road 41 minutes after he called 000 with jaw and chest pain. An independent report found that he 'may have been successfully resuscitated had a paramedic crew been present'. On 15 March, in response to the Ambulance Employees Association social media post that two patients passed away with delayed ambulance responses, you said, 'We must do more.' Given ramping has increased to a record level on your government's watch, my questions to the Attorney-General are:</text>
        <text id="20220927b489e6355dfa4e0b90000357">1.&amp;#x9;When will your government fix ramping?</text>
        <text id="20220927b489e6355dfa4e0b90000358">2&amp;#x9;Can you guarantee that ramping will not continue to worsen under your government's watch?</text>
