My question is to the Minister for Health and Aged Care. Minister, GP bulk-billing rates in my electorate of Sturt were at 79 per cent in 2019 before COVID. Under the Albanese Labor government, they've fallen as low as 69 per cent. Australian families are already facing a cost-of-living crisis, a housing crisis and energy bill crisis. Why are my constituents now having to endure a bulk-billing crisis?
