Thank you, Senator Parry. Senator Parry has used the highly technological terms Buckley’s. I would say that that is absolutely right. So here we have got the Prime Minister talking about a plan that is off in the never-never and is probably never going to happen, and he is expecting the Australian people to believe that he can fix health. It is absolutely rubbish. The Australian people are wising up to this Prime Minister very quickly. This plan does nothing to address the shortage of doctors out in the regions, absolutely nothing. It does nothing to address regional health. We have seen the disastrous state, particularly across New South Wales, of the hospitals and it is appalling.

We have heard over recent times the Prime Minister threaten to have a double dissolution on health. All I can say is bring it on, because this coalition will absolutely go toe to toe with the Prime Minister if he decides he wants to have a double dissolution on health. Bring it on. We know the Australian people do not trust him, we know the Australian people are starting to realise the amount of spin that is coming from this Prime Minister. It is all talk, no action. There is no plan for delivery on health and the Australian people know this, and they will tell the Prime Minister absolutely when we go to the next election what they think of his broken promises.
