Sussan Ley (Farrer, Liberal Party, Minister for Health) Share this | Hansard source

In Labor's year of big ideas there are no ideas. There are no ideas from Labor about ensuring sustainability. There have, of course, been questions about the Intergenerational report. No questions about the Intergenerational report have been asked of me, perhaps because of a slight sensitivity on page 63 of the Intergenerational report, where it says if we stay on Labor's fast track to doing nothing, the percentage of GDP on health spending will almost double to seven per cent, and 'Medicare … is projected to be the fastest growing component of health expenditure.' How much more evidence do you need to see that the coalition's determination to keep Medicare sustainable over the long term is actually the right one.
