My question is to the Minister for Health and Ageing. How is the Albanese Labor government delivering more urgent care clinics across the country? Why is it important for Australians to be able to access urgent care when they need it after a decade of cuts and neglect?

Thank you to the member for Sturt. She's still in her first year, but she's already making a terrific contribution in this place and greatly representing her community in the eastern suburbs of Adelaide. Particularly on health, she brings really valuable insights from her time as a board director of the Royal Flying Doctor Service, and she's already delivered on the commitment she made to open a Medicare urgent care clinic in Norwood.

It opened on 17 December. It's in the heart of her community on the parade there in Norwood, and it's already seen hundreds and hundreds of patients, like Hermione Farmer's daughter. Ms Farmer wrote online about her experience. She said:

My daughter used the walk in Medicare clinic at Norwood on NYE—

and it's pretty hard to find a GP clinic open—

It was great She got the high quality of care she needed in a timely fashion without sitting around in emergency for hours.

That was the promise that the member for Sturt made, and it's just one of 122 Medicare urgent care clinics that are open right now. Another 15 clinics are opening in coming weeks.

Why are you ignoring the Mid North Coast?

They're all open seven days a week, 365 days a year, with extended hours. Already they've seen 2½ million patients. A third of those patients were children under the age of 15, and a third of them were seen on weekends, where they would find it very difficult to get into their usual general practice. Importantly, every single one of those patients has been fully bulk billed. All they needed was their Medicare card. Once this is fully up and running, the network will see two million patients—

Order! The minister will pause. I'm up to 11 interjections by the member for Lyne, so she won't make 12; she'll leave the chamber—now.

The member for Lyne then left the chamber.

The minister will continue.

Once fully up and running, this network will see two million patients every single year, not just delivering high-quality urgent care free of charge—all you need is your Medicare card—but, importantly, taking pressure off our busy emergency departments, something the Prime Minister talked to the premiers and chief ministers about on Friday. All of this is why Australians know what they get from the Labor Party when it comes to Medicare. But, after a decade of cuts and neglect, the alternative is still not very clear at all. Of course, the Leader of the Opposition has got a pretty infamous record on Medicare from her time as health minister. I'm not sure the member for Canning has ever mentioned the word 'Medicare' in this place, and, as for the great pretender to the throne, the member for Hume, who inexplicably remains on the front bench, a man with no apparent honour at all, plotting against his leader from the front bench, well, he described our Medicare investments as wasteful spending!

Government members interjecting—

Order! Members on my right. The manager on a point of order?

On relevance, the minister is not being relevant to the question he was asked, and he's not referring to members by their correct titles.

On the point of order, the Leader of the House?

To the point of order, I'd say two things: one, the minister was clearly, from the way that question was framed, able to give the comments that he gave and, two, I note the member for Hume never claimed to be misrepresented.

The manager?

Well, if that's okay, I can refer to the manager of opposition and also a pretender to the throne. That would be in order. That would be his title, if that's what he's saying is in order.

Look, the manager—

An opposition member interjecting—

Whose side are you on? I wouldn't want you.

Order! I'll deal with this. The Manager of Opposition Business is correct. I'm agreeing with him. He's entitled to raise a point of order. He has a job to do, and everyone has a role to play in this parliament. He's entitled to raise a point of order; he did that. All members have got to be referred to by their correct titles, and I ask everyone to temper their language. I want everyone to show each other respect. Let's ask the questions, get the answers and keep moving.

My point is on this side you'll get work for a stronger Medicare; on that side you get Hobson's choice.
