My question is to the Prime Minister. According to the Australian Diagnostic Imaging Association, the Prime Minister's decision to abolish bulk-billing incentives will mean general patients who are previously bulk-billed will now pay upfront costs of up to $2,207 for a liver metastasis diagnosis. Why is the Prime Minister determined to destroy Medicare and slug Australians more to have their liver metastasis diagnosed?
