Peter Dutton (Dickson, Liberal Party, Minister for Health) Share this | Hansard source

This is an important topic and, as Kevin Rudd worked out when he was Prime Minister, he needed to fix the health system. Prime Minister Rudd at the time and, to her credit, Prime Minister Gillard commissioned two independent reports—first, the Bennett review and, second, the McKeon review—both of which independently came back to the then Labor government saying that our current health system in this country, with an ageing population, is unsustainable, in their own words. That was not our claim and not Labor's claim; it was the independent advice commissioned by Labor when they were in government.
