After that performance, aren't we lucky we didn't have another 10 months of that mob in government—the 'not my job' coalition. We are so fortunate that the Australian people chose to give them the time in opposition to think about the failures that they left behind and what they need to do to reform themselves. If we want to talk about the first 10 months, if we want to compare notes, let's have a look at the first 10 months of the Leader of the Opposition when he was health minister.

In his first 10 months, health minister Peter Dutton offered Australia a $7 GP tax. He was trying to make it more expensive for every Australian to go to the doctor. It was a fundamental assault on Medicare. That was the first 10 months of the Leader of the Opposition when he was health minister.
