When it comes to rural and regional affairs and when it comes to Indigenous affairs, it is this government that is delivering $3.1 billion for Indigenous health. And guess what? It is $500 million more than we saw under the previous Labor government. That is what this government is doing for issues like Indigenous health. And when it comes to rural and regional affairs, we only have to go through the extensive list of programs. It is this coalition government that is having to fix the Labor mess we got left with in the GP rural incentive payment program. It was a complete mess that this coalition government had to fix. When we look at district of workforce shortage, also in rural and regional areas, it was this coalition government that had to fix Labor's mess—as we are having to do in so many areas.
