Last week the Albanese Labor government announced that it is making cheaper medicines even cheaper. Having already slashed the cost of medicines with the largest cut to the cost of medicines in the history of the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme in 2023, Labor is now going further, with a script to cost Australians no more than $25 under the PBS. Minister, can you explain why Australians can only trust a Labor government to invest in health, make medicines cheaper and strengthen Medicare?
