not only record spending on our schools; fully guaranteed funding for the National Disability Insurance Scheme, through a $140 billion investment in the capabilities of Australians; record health and hospitals funding, with an extra $31 billion through the National Healthcare Agreement; supporting the increase in bulk-billing in Medicare to the record rate of 86.2 per cent last financial year, meaning some 86 out of every 100 visits to the GP are free, fully funded by a government that knows how to manage a budget, exercise discipline on its finances and support a stronger economy; increasing investment to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, with some 2,200 new or amended items listed on the PBS, which represents an average of around 30 listings per month, at an overall cost of $10.6 billion; $7 billion extra in childcare subsidies, paid to 1.1 million families; and $1 billion extra every year on supporting aged care, delivering the essential services Australians rely on, because our government knows how to support a stronger economy and knows how to manage and deliver a strong budget position that gives Australians resilience and assurance in the areas of uncertainty that they face in the years ahead.
