There was so much of that question that was not correct. There was so much hyperbole from the party that posts on representing regional Australia while not delivering for regional Australia. You don't deliver for regional Australia. Did you support more bulk-billing in regional Australia? No, you didn't. Did you support more measures to get a medical workforce into regional Australia? No. You come in here, Senator McKenzie, and pretend that you are a champion for the regions, but you don't deliver the policies that actually support regional communities. No amount of hyperbole, rhetoric and walking around with a hat on makes you a representative of regional Australia.
