My question is to the Minister for Health and Ageing. I refer the minister to the government’s budget cuts to Medicare benefit scheme fees for cataract surgery. Given the government’s reckless cash splashes, how does the minister justify this callous measure, which will have a devastating impact on the wellbeing of thousands of Australians—mostly battlers and pensioners—and in particular those in rural Australia?
