Mr HOCKEY (North Sydney—The Treasurer) (14:40): The honourable member is totally misrepresenting my answer from yesterday. Opposition members interjecting— Mr HOCKEY: What a surprise! Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: There will be silence on my left! Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Ballarat has asked a question, now listen to the answer. Mr HOCKEY: The reason why we are asking Australians to contribute to the cost of Medicare is in order to ensure that Medicare is sustainable into the future. That is what we are doing. Paul Keating believed that. Paul Keating in fact actually said it. I stand by all my words in relation to chronic illnesses, including those on Q&A, which is what she is getting at, and why so? Because we are absolutely committed to ensuring that we have universal healthcare that delivers the sort of coverage that Australians need, expect and, most importantly, can afford. Ms King: Madam Speaker, I raise a point of order. The SPEAKER: The member for Ballarat on a point of order? Ms King: Yes, Madam Speaker, on relevance. Mr HOCKEY: I've finished. The SPEAKER: Has the minister finished his answer? Mr HOCKEY: Yes. Ms King: Will they pay the tax or not? The SPEAKER: The member will resume her seat. The Treasurer has completed his answer.
