My question is to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister has said, on at least 71 occasions, that it is free to see a GP and all you need is your Medicare card, not your credit card. But the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has contradicted the Prime Minister with data showing Australians paid more than $166 million in out-of-pocket costs to see a GP in the month of May alone. Why does the Prime Minister say things he knows are untrue?
