High speed direct number 1, all ok.
Don’t confuse Oz with the rest of the world. In this particular backwater, you can request medical priority until the cows come home, but it will make no difference until you pipe up with your ‘pan’ call to the pedant’s society (Australian ATC).
The rest of the world are unencumbered with this atom splitting approach, and allow a fair amount of common sense.
