The difference between us is: we invest in Medicare, invest in bulk-billing and invest in urgent care clinics, and those opposite wind back indexation, they freeze rates and they try to introduce a GP tax—we'll never forget that. Who was that? It might have been Mr Dutton when he was last in charge. Then, of course, we've got Sussan Ley, from the other place, the deputy opposition leader, now belling the cat and saying that charging for services is a core tenet of the Liberal Party, and that if you don't pay for it you don't value it. Well, we over here believe in universal access to free health care. (Time expired)
