Right now, Liberals are rushing across this building, in and out of offices, trying to do the numbers and topple the first female leader of their party. On this side we're focused on delivering for all Australians. On that side they're focused on themselves.

I genuinely thank the member for Page for moving this MPI, and I hope he stays in the chamber to hear about what this government is delivering for people in his community; I expect he'll probably walk out on me, like the Nationals did to Sussan Ley. As the member for Page knows, I'm a frequent visitor to his community and I rarely come empty-handed. In 2023 we opened the Lismore Medicare Urgent Care Clinic, with walk-in care for urgent but non-life-threatening conditions—not like what might happen tomorrow at nine! It is open seven days a week, over extended hours, and, like all Medicare urgent care clinics across the country, it's popular—not like the coalition. Since opening, 22,966 people have received fully-bulk-billed care—100 per cent free.
