House debates Matters of Public Importance

Private Health Insurance

Thursday, 4 June 2009 House of Representatives

This has certainly been an edifying debate so far. We have had the member for Dickson come into the House, move a matter of public importance and pretend that the government does not support private health insurance when actually everyone on this side of the House supports a strong public and private health system. We are committed to strengthening not only private health but public health and the health system as a whole. We have also had the member for Bowman make statements that, ‘Everybody knows,’ ‘This is a fact,’ and ‘That is a fact,’ but he is not presenting any evidence whatsoever to back up the statements he makes.
