I am delighted by these contributions by the member for Hume, and I am delighted for them to go onto the parliamentary record. I am more than happy for the member for Hume to keep going. He is making a very useful contribution to the House because every time he interjects he underlines the point that the government, the Liberal and National parties, think that Medicare is unaffordable. That is what they think; that is what they believe. We on this side of the House think that we as a nation cannot afford not to have Medicare. That is what we think on this side of the House.
