My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to recent comments by the Minister for Health and Ageing regarding tax increases to pay for the future of Australia’s health system, when she said:

… it is something that we have to include in the mature debate about how we fund health care.

Given that the government is now running deficit budgets and is now borrowing record levels of money, Prime Minister, what taxes will need to be increased to pay for the minister’s health plan?
