My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. On 7 August 1974, the Whitlam Labor government passed laws to establish universal health care in Australia. Fifty years on, can the minister please tell the Senate: how is the Albanese government continuing Labor's proud tradition of fair and affordable health care for all Australians, and, in particular, how is the government helping Australians access cheaper medicines and more bulk-billing as Australians deal with cost-of-living challenges?
