Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:18): I thank the member for Fremantle for his question, and he knows that our No. 1 priority is easing cost-of-living pressures. There are three vital ways that you can tackle cost of living: you can get costs down for families, you can get wages up for workers but you can also get the budget onto a stronger foundation, and we're doing all three. Our responsible budget management means that we can invest in cheaper medicines, affordable housing, energy bill relief, higher wages, cheaper child care, while those opposite said no to all of the above. I'm asked particularly about health care. We have the biggest investment in Medicare in its history—tripling the bulk-billing incentive, providing support for 11 million Australians to see a GP for free. And we're opening 58 Medicare Urgent Care Clinics right around the country, taking pressure off families and taking pressure off hospital emergency departments. And those opposite— Mr Pasin: They're really making a difference! Mr ALBANESE: The member for Barker jokes that, 'Oh, they're making a difference!' They are making a difference. Seventy-five thousand presentations to these clinics means that 75,000 people who— Mr Pasin interjecting — The SPEAKER: The member for Barker is now warned. Mr ALBANESE: Seventy-five thousand people who would have been waiting in emergency departments, often families with their kids with a broken arm or with injuries from another accident that had occurred— Mr Joyce: With a broken wallet! Mr ALBANESE: One in three patients have been under 15. The former leader of the National Party interjects 'with a broken wallet'. The truth is that you only need your Medicare card, not your credit card—unlike his Leader of the Opposition, who wanted to impose a cost on every person who ever saw a doctor, with a co-payment. Nearly one in three visits have been on weekends. On weekdays, more than one in five visits have been after 6 pm. We're strengthening Medicare. The Leader of the Opposition, of course, when he was health minister, tried to destroy it. He tried to abolish bulk-billing with a GP tax. He wanted to increase the price of medicines with a medicine tax and wanted to whack every single patient with a hospital tax when they turned up, as well. No wonder he was voted Australia's worst ever health minister. What we're doing is working to strengthen Medicare as part of our plan for strengthening Australia and working for Australia.
