My question is to the Minister for Health and Aged Care. Minister, you've expressed concern at the state of primary care, and rightly so, considering bulk-billing continues to fall due to the grossly inadequate Medicare rebate. Of course, the previous government denied this and cooked the books by counting the number of bulk-billed services rather than the number of patients. So, Minister, will you fix this? Will you lift the rebate to bring relief to the millions of Australians who can't afford to see their GP?
