I move:

That the Senate—

(a) acknowledges that:

  (i) Medicare is a universal healthcare system, paid for by all Australians, from the Federal Government to healthcare providers in each state and territory in Australia, and

  (ii) we are all in this battle together against COVID-19; and

(b) notes with concern reports that the Queensland Labor Government is not allowing some Australian children to use Australian hospitals that are funded by the Australian taxpayer.

Question agreed to.
