My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Prime Minister's comment yesterday that 70 per cent of GP visits at the moment are bulk-billed. Is the Prime Minister aware that the latest figures show that the bulk-billing rate is in fact 83.6 per cent? How can the government introduce a GP tax when the Prime Minister does not even know how many Australians rely on bulk billing for medical treatment?
