Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Finance, Minister for Women, Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:11): I thank Senator Payman for focusing on those cost-of-living measures that are so important for Australian households. The expansion of Medicare bulk billing incentives is a concrete example of our commitment to ensuring that pensioners, families and concession card holders can see their GP without the stress of additional costs. That's not just because we're seeking to ease inflation pressures; it's also because we believe in Medicare. We believe in Medicare and the fact that Australians need to be able to access accessible and affordable health care. And our commitment isn't just to helping Australians to see the GP. The reduction in the prices of medicines is another critical cost-of-living relief measure that is directly benefiting millions of Australians. It's a sharp departure from the track record of those opposite, whose policies often left the most vulnerable behind. Our government is dedicated to a fair go for all, especially during these tough times.
