The sort of investment we can see is $1.4 billion in elective surgery, doing things like upgrading the keyhole surgery facilities at Manly Hospital, or doing things like putting $650 million into GP superclinics, as in the electorate of the member for Dickson, where patients have access to GPs, specialists, nurses, pathology, X-ray and ultrasound, physiotherapy, podiatry, dietician services, psychology, audiology, chiropractic services and Indigenous health services.

We have seen a lot of slip-sliding from those opposite. They will not commit to changing this if they come back to government. They will not commit to repealing the means testing because they cannot afford it. (Time expired)
