My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Treasurer's assertion that Australians with a number of chronic diseases are not affected by the GP tax. There are one million Australians with diabetes. Someone diagnosed with the disease must visit the GP every week for a number of months and then at least four times every year. Can the Prime Minister confirm this patient would be billed using GP consultation item B23 and the GP tax would apply?
