Senator FIERRAVANTI-WELLS (New South Wales—Minister for International Development and the Pacific) (14:45): Thank you, Senator Duniam. The coalition, of course, is investing more than ever in Medicare. Funding has gone up from $23 billion to $28 billion in 2020-21. But, of course, Senator Duniam, I do want to go back to Bennelong and the Eastwood Medicare office. Opposition senators interjecting— Senator FIERRAVANTI-WELLS: This was a decision of the former Labor government. They took the decision to co-locate Centrelink offices— The PRESIDENT: Senator Fierravanti-Wells, please resume your seat. Senator Reynolds, on a point of order. Senator Reynolds: I'm sitting right behind the minister, and I cannot even hear her response. Those opposite might not want to hear great news about Medicare, but those on this side do. The PRESIDENT: I will ask senators to once again respect the requests of their colleagues to be able to hear questions and answers. Senator FIERRAVANTI-WELLS: As I was saying, it was you lot that took the decision to co-locate Medicare and Centrelink offices. Before we took government, Labor closed down 128 Medicare offices. And who was the architect? The former Minister for Human Services, Chris Bowen. But, as far as lying is concerned, what else do you expect from somebody who was a puppet of Eddie Obeid and Joe Tripodi. (Time expired) Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senators Watt and Dastyari, some tolerance for political combat is understood, but could we please get on with question time? Senator Duniam, a final supplementary question?
