I thank the shadow minister. I can say that in the last round of changes to the Modified Monash Model Queanbeyan was MM 1. It is still MM 1. There have been no changes to Queanbeyan, and I dispute the quote the member has got. I point to the Riverside Medical Centre in Queanbeyan, where this afternoon there is an appointment every 10 minutes—in a super clinic that does receive the bulk-billing incentive. There have been no changes to the MM model in Queanbeyan, and it would be better if the shadow minister stopped trying to scare the people of Queanbeyan.
