Member for Fisher, if only the 775 members of Montville had been represented by someone in a federal government for 10 years! Maybe if they had been represented by someone in a federal government for 10 years which didn't want to attack Medicare every time the word was mentioned, which didn't want to freeze Medicare bulk-billing incentives, which actually listened to the advice about 60-day dispensing and introduced it in the targeted, staged way that this government is introducing it, with allowances for pharmacists in country towns like Montville which mean that in the first year dispensing revenue that might be lost from 60-day dispensing will be offset and then over four years would step down, maybe Montville would still have a GP and still have a pharmacist!
