Senator DI NATALE (Victoria—Leader of the Australian Greens) (16:12): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator DI NATALE: When it comes to funding for dental care, the Commonwealth does play a significant role through the Child Dental Benefits Schedule, and that's Medicare funded. It is an agreement that was struck with the Labor Party back in 2010 as a result of the power-sharing agreement we had with Labor. I know it very well because I was involved in the formulation of that policy. It is Medicare funded policy. It is a thousand dollars— Senator Sterle interjecting— Senator DI NATALE: Well, you might say that—I'll take Senator Sterle's intervention. You don't want children to have a thousand dollars worth of Medicare funded dental care, Senator Sterle? You tell that to the people of Batman. You tell the people of Batman you don't want them to have a thousand dollars worth of Medicare funded dental care. Shame on you! Senator Sterle interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Di Natale! Senator Sterle! Senator DI NATALE: Don't walk away from it, Senator Sterle. The people of Batman want Medicare funded dental care. It should be expanded to people on low incomes and pensioners, and it should be a universal entitlement. Let's see if you move, Senator Sterle. Let's see which side of the chamber you go to. The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator Di Natale! I remind those seeking leave to make statements that the provision to make statements, particularly by party representatives, is actually the prerogative of every individual senator. The question is that motion No. 704, moved by Senator Di Natale, be agreed to.
