I am very pleased to confirm that all Australians will benefit from Labor's announcement, from the Prime Minister's announcement, today. The Commonwealth contribution in every state and every territory will increase by 12 per cent in 2025-26. Let's remember that those opposite cut public hospital funding. Under us, public hospital funding is growing.

We are also delivering one-off funding boosts, with $407 million for New South Wales, $402 million for Victoria, $414 million for Queensland, $158 million for Western Australia, $169 million for South Australia, $50 million each for Tassie and the ACT, and $51 million for the Northern Territory, all of which is at risk from Mr Dutton's secret cuts—all of which is at risk. And this is the GP-tax health minister; that's who Mr Dutton was. You can't trust Mr Dutton with health. (Time expired)
