In question time today the Minister for Health quoted from a newspaper article I wrote over a decade ago while at university and suggested that I now support a GP co-payment. This is incorrect. I encourage the health minister to do as I have done and speak with health experts, who overwhelmingly oppose the tax and will persuade him against it. Rather than talking about what I wrote while at university the government might start talking about what it said in last year's election.
