I thank the member for Robertson for her question. I also thank her for her compassionate, caring representation of her constituents, many of whom she has brought to me with stories of ill-health. She is a fabulous local member.

The member for Robertson is correct. We are building a healthier Medicare. She is also correct in saying that bulk-billing rates have never been higher than they are under the Turnbull government. In fact, the 17.6 million bulk-billed services in the last year is the highest ever, and certainly higher than under Labor in their last year of office.

The Leader of the Opposition is a Medicare fraud, a complete Medicare fraud. He ran a disgraceful scare campaign.
