My question is to the Prime Minister. The government has granted just four Medicare MRI licences in almost five years, meaning that access to MRIs covered by Medicare has become a lottery of location. Why won't this arrogant and out-of-touch Prime Minister join Labor's $80 million commitment for 20 new Medicare MRI licences instead of making secret deals with Pauline Hanson to give an $80 billion handout to his friends in big business?
