Contrary to the lies that are being spread by the Labor Party, the federal government is providing increased and record funding for health right across the nation, whether it is in hospitals, whether it is in pharmaceutical benefits, whether it is in Medicare. And we are able to provide that funding because we have the budget under control, because we're able to bring it back into balance. We're able to put life-saving drugs on the PBS, not like Labor, who had to hold them back because they couldn't afford to put drugs onto the PBS. You know very well you did. You held them back. It was a disgrace. You should be ashamed of your record.

The Labor Party failed Australians on health, they failed them on national security, they failed them on economic management and they would fail them again were they ever to occupy this side of the chamber.
