I refer the Prime Minister to his election promise of August 2007 when he said:

Interviewer—Are you going to take off the rebate for private health funds, which currently the government supports—

That is the 30 per cent we are talking about.

Rudd—Absolutely not.

Will the Prime Minister now admit that the government intends to roll back the private health insurance rebate, because all Australians are paying the price for the government’s reckless spending?
