My question is to the Prime Minister. On 3 June in this parliament, the Prime Minister said:

The GP co-payment is a sensible measure from this government to try to make Medicare sustainable for the long term.

But today the president of the AMA said:

…healthcare spending is certainly not out of control and there is absolutely no need for them to introduce a GP co-payment…

Now that the president of the AMA has put the Prime Minister's fabrication to bed, will the Prime Minister now abandoned his GP tax?
