Mr LITTLEPROUD (Maranoa) (16:10): I'm amazed that not once through the diatribe and vitriol that we have heard did those opposite talk about that great bastion of Labor electioneering, the privatisation of Medicare. Not once. Do you know why? Because it's been over a year and it hasn't happened. Funny about that—it says to me that those opposite have no credibility whatsoever when it comes to Medicare. Nor do they have credibility about how to run an economy or a nation. Let's talk about Medicare. The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The member for Macarthur, on a point of order? Dr Freelander: How dare the member for Maranoa accuse me of having no credibility in a field that I have worked in for over 40 years. The DEPUTY SPEAKER: There is no point of order. The member for Macarthur will resume his seat. Dr Aly interjecting— The DEPUTY SPEAKER: I remind the member for Cowan that she is out of her place and if she speaks again she is disorderly. Mr LITTLEPROUD: Let's not stop on the health system, because we put this privatisation myth that those opposite perpetrated during the federal election campaign. Let's think about it in real economic and business terms. I have been a small-business owner. Those opposite are normally union hacks, political hacks, never done a day's work in their lives, never had to pay a wage in their lives. Who in their right mind would buy a business that doesn't make a profit? It's not worth anything. No government in their right mind can privatise Medicare. But those opposite have no credibility, not only on the economy but also in terms of health. They're not interested in anything other than playing politics with people's lives. It's an utter disgrace that they come in here and play with the lives of Australians. Since we have been in government we have unfrozen the freeze. Yes, we have! You started it, you started every bit of it! The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The member for Shortland, on a point of order? Mr Conroy: I request that remarks be put through the chair. The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The member for Maranoa will address his remarks through the chair. Mr LITTLEPROUD: I will. Because, again, it was we that took the freeze off. It is those opposite that put it on. Not one of them had the ability to walk into this chamber and admit it, because it's all about politics. It's not about outcomes. This is Labor's way of talking about how they're spending billions of dollars on health. They talk about cuts and, again, we go back to the basics of how to run an economy. There have been no cuts! Another myth, another Labor lie! The reality is that those opposite cannot be trusted. In fact, we have seen an increase in bulk-billing rates since we have been in government. That is an achievement of this government. It is about outcomes, not just throwing money out the window, like Labor does frivolously every time they're given the Treasury benches. Let me talk about real outcomes. Those opposite talk about cardiovascular appointments. In my electorate only last week we as a federal government gave $1 million to the Heart of Australia fund, to Dr Gomes. He is going to the most disadvantaged places in this nation and allowing them to see a cardiovascular surgeon. That is what we are doing as a real government to get real outcomes, not espousing all these hyperboles about what they can do, but delivering outcomes. That is what a government does. Let's talk about dental. They wanted to stay away from the freeze, and rightly they should, because they started it. Let's talk about dental. I was in Winton, a small outback town that none of them would know or have ever been to. In Winton in the last couple of months we have had a new RFDS based truck that offers state-of-the-art dental surgery for those in the outback who don't have access to a dentist. That's what we on this side do—not talk about it, not the hyperbole. We deliver real outcomes for people in rural and regional Australia and the disadvantaged that those— The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Mr Coulton ): Order! The time for this discussion has concluded.
