Twice today in question time the Prime Minister wrongly accused me of supporting a Medicare copayment. He accused me of being the 'mother' of the copayment. I want to make it very clear to the House for a third time that this is completely false. I opposed the copayment in 1991 and I oppose it now. This has been confirmed by the then secretary of the finance department, Dr Keating, and I ask the Speaker intervene to ensure that this falsehood is not repeated a fourth time in this House.
