My question is to the Prime Minister. The government is cutting some $270 million from the Medicare safety net meaning cancer patients receiving life-saving radiation oncology could pay $12,000 for their treatment. Reports today state that the government has delayed legislating this cut until after the Canning by-election. Is this not just another example of the Prime Minister hiding cuts from voters before an election? And do not the voters of Canning deserve the truth?
