My question is to the local member for Griffith, the Prime Minister. Can you explain why a newly trained GP who wants to set up shop in my less affluent Hastings Valley communities receives no incentive to do so, yet by comparison this exact same GP can set up shop on the more affluent Hastings Street in Noosa and, for doing so, will receive a $60,000 incentive from government? If there is no logical explanation to this GP version of the ‘Battle of the Hastings’, in the interests of better, fairer and more equitable health care in this country when will you change this flawed national policy?
