My question is to the Prime Minister. Isn't it the case that, as the Prime Minister caves in to his conservative backbench on issue, after issue, after issue, the only options that the Prime Minister has left are more extreme cuts in the budget, just like the Medicare cuts in the Abbott government's 2014 budget? Will the Prime Minister today, without hesitation, rule out caving in to his backbench again by privatising Medicare?
