I know why the member for Grayndler does not like the diaries—because of what Mark Latham said about the member for Grayndler. Mark Latham said:

Medicare Gold was part of my plan for killing the private health insurance rebate ... It required a lot of work to model the private health insurance applications and to secure the cooperation of the states, all handled by Gillard.

This week, the member for Lalor said again that she actually supported the private health insurance rebate. But, given Labor’s history of duplicity on this subject, you cannot take her assurances at face value. We know from what she said this week that she hates private health insurance.
