My question is for the Minister representing the Minister for Health and Aged Care, Senator Gallagher. In an announcement on 13 April 22, then opposition leader Anthony Albanese and shadow health minister Mark Butler said their proposed Medicare urgent care clinics would be open seven days a week from at least 8 am to 10 pm if Labor were elected. I was excited to read your government's 22 November media release that on 11 September the Devonport Urgent Care Clinic will open, but its opening hours will apparently be 2 pm until 8 pm, not 8 am to 10 pm as promised. Minister, when will you correct the media release to say that the clinic will be open from 8 am to 10 pm, or is your pre-election commitment a broken promise?
