This is a very important message. Women's health is not for sale, Malcolm Turnbull. They are running a very strong campaign.

I would like to put on the record my thanks to Emily Bourke, Tess Farell and Georgie Bah, who worked on this campaign. They were motivated by these cuts, and they said, 'Enough is enough.' They are all mothers and activists in this area, and they said, 'Enough is enough.' We need to put a spotlight on what these cuts mean for women. They are running a campaign that has been taken up nationally. This will be an issue that I will be talking about, as I know all of my Labor colleagues will be. Women's health—and, indeed, the health of Australians—is not for sale. Malcolm Turnbull and his government need to bring back universal health care in this country, not walk away from it.
