House debates Matters of Public Importance
Medicare Levy Surcharge
Ms Anna Burke Deputy-Speaker
Mr Speaker has received a letter from the honourable member for Dickson proposing that a definite matter of public importance be submitted to the House for discussion, namely:
The government's failure to fully disclose the real impact on families and the public hospital system of its proposed changes to the Medicare levy.
I call upon those members who approve of the proposed discussion to rise in their places.
More than the number of members required by the standing orders having risen in their places—
