Mr Speaker, you could not find a better advocate for Medicare than the member for Dickson. She understands better than most just how important a high-quality universal health insurance system is for Australia and its people. That's why she campaigned so hard for more bulk-billing, for more doctors and nurses, for cheaper medicines and, of course, for more urgent care options.

Last week, yet again, she hosted the Prime Minister at the Murrumba Downs Medicare urgent care clinic. He loves it up there. I'm not quite sure how many times he's been. It's a lot.
