My question is to the Minister for Health. I refer the minister to the empty paddock in my electorate where the Caboolture GP superclinic should be. I thought perhaps he could update the House on the progress of Labor's GP superclinic program.

I thank the member for Longman for his question. It is not appropriate to use props in question time, so let me describe this picture that I have for the benefit of the House and those listening. It has a sign out the front that says 'Caboolture GP superclinic' and talks about the extended hours of the GP superclinic.

The member for Adelaide is warned!

If you look beyond the temporary fencing which is just in front of the sign—I am hoping you are picturing this—there is no entrance into a building, there is no car park for doctors' cars, there is no ambulance bay; there is just a vacant paddock with dirt and a truck and a tractor in the background. I just want to update the Labor Party that patients cannot be seen in that sort of a setting; patients cannot be seen by construction workers driving a backhoe or a bobcat or a truck; they cannot see patients in those unhygienic circumstances. I think it is important for the Labor Party to understand that. They are cocky at the moment and they believe they are going to be returned at the next election. I think it is important for people to understand that they did make considerable mistakes when they were last in government and they have learnt nothing since. They are all full of confidence at the moment. We have seen it demonstrated today by the assistant minister for infrastructure and by the shadow Treasurer as well. They were a bad government. The Rudd-Gillard-Rudd years were bad for this country; they were a bad government.

The member for Sydney!

When you go through them one by one—the member for Ballarat, the member for Sydney, the member for Grayndler and the Leader of the Opposition—they were all trained by Kevin Rudd or Julia Gillard. It was demonstrated when they were ministers in those years, and it will be demonstrated if they are re-elected at the next election. It is a very important message for the Australian public to hear.

When you look at the ANAO reports, there was a very important one that demonstrated that my shadow opposite, the member for Ballarat, misappropriated, it seems—on the advice of the Auditor-General—money that was in the portfolio responsibility that she had at the time.

Madam Speaker, on a point of order—

She should apologise for it, of course.

Sit down!

The member for Grayndler does not give instructions here, I do! The member for Grayndler on a point of order.

Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure and Transport) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

And you do it well, Madam Speaker.

Mrs Bronwyn Bishop (Speaker) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

Yes, I do.

I would ask you to instruct the member to withdraw that unparliamentary statement.

Mrs Bronwyn Bishop (Speaker) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

If the minister has misappropriation statements to make, it has to be in a different form, not here.

Peter Dutton (Dickson, Liberal Party, Minister for Immigration and Border Protection) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

If the minister is offended, I am happy to withdraw. There was an ANAO report, many into the previous governments, where billions of dollars were wasted on programs that were not justified, and I am having a look at the ANAO report. It said that the report into the GP Super Clinics Program of the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd years provided a damning report with less than 10 per cent of clinic promised in round 1 open on time. That makes the former health minister, the member for Sydney, an overachiever in the Rudd government. Let us say eight per cent, but round it up to 10. That makes her a much greater achiever than many who wasted billions of dollars and who sit beside her. They all should hang their heads in shame. The member for Ballarat in particular should apologise.

I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
