In question time today a clearly rattled and poll-panicked Prime Minister made misleading claims about my record as health minister. To correct the misrepresentation, I point out that in every year of my tenure hospital funding increased, from $7.49 billion in 2003-04 to $9.76 billion in 2007-08. It is absolutely obvious, and members opposite should stop telling grotesque untruths about the excellent record of the former government and the fine record, if I say so myself, of the former minister.
