My question is to the Prime Minister. Senate Estimates revealed that the government has made no attempt to find out what the impact of the GP tax would be on the out-of-pocket expenses for patients with chronic illness such as kidney disease. Why did the Prime Minister introduce a GP tax when he does not even know how much pain it will cause sick Australians?
