My question is to the Prime Minister. In 2013, the coalition promised to provide 50 per cent growth funding for hospital services. The government broke that promise, cut its contribution and is now paying only 45 per cent, meaning it is cutting $2.8 billion from hospitals from 2019 to 2025. Why is this Prime Minister giving an $80 billion handout to big business instead of properly funding our hospitals across Australia? Here is your policy, in case you haven't seen it.
