Mr ABBOTT (Warringah—Prime Minister) (14:45): I accept that the lady in question is doing it tough. I obviously accept that she is doing it tough, and I dare say that she does not particularly like the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme co-payment which she has to pay and which the Labor Party put in place and which the Labor Party increased significantly over the years—and they did not ever take it to an election. Dr Chalmers interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Rankin will desist! Mr ABBOTT: The fact is that a Medicare co-payment for visiting a general practitioner has been on our national agenda for years. It was put there by Bob Hawke, with the assistance of the member for Jagajaga, and it has the enthusiastic support of Labor's shadow Assistant Treasurer, and that is why it should be on our agenda today. Mr Burke: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Mr ABBOTT: I have concluded this answer.
