My question is to the Prime Minister: according to the Australian Diagnostic Imaging Association, the Prime Minister's decision to abolish bulk-billing incentives will mean people who were previously bulk-billed will now pay upfront costs of up to $1,326 for a thyroid cancer diagnosis. Why is the Prime Minister determined to destroy Medicare and slug Australians more to have their thyroid cancer diagnosed?
