Senator NASH (New South Wales—Deputy Leader of The Nationals in the Senate and Assistant Minister for Health) (14:39): In answering what seems to be almost exactly the same question just a couple of days ago, I indicated to the chamber that it is a matter for GPs. Senator Moore: Mr President, I rise on a point of order again or direct relevance. It was a direct question about the impact of the GP co-payment: will the doctors receive $14 less for bulk billing than they would for bulk billing the same patient today? It is a very simple question. I ask for a direct answer. The PRESIDENT: I cannot instruct the minister how to answer the question. The minister still has 46 seconds remaining to address the question. Senator NASH: Perhaps had the manager of Opposition Business waited a little longer than 14 seconds we could have got to the answer. There have been some changes in arrangements to the GP payments as a result of the economic mess left to us by the previous Labor government. Those on the other side do not like to hear this but it is a touch budget with some changes in arrangements that will ensure a sustainable health system the future. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: When there is silence on my left I will call the senator to ask the question. None of the people calling out have the call for the question. I am waiting to call the senator to ask the question.
