Again, our government, the Morrison government, is able to make and provide an unprecedented level of support to health and medical research because of the plan that we've put in place to enable a strong economy. We've put in place the right economic framework to ensure that the economy grows, so that we can invest in the services that the Australian people deserve. We on this side of the chamber understand that, in order to sustainably fund the health services Australians deserve, you need to run a strong economy. This, of course, allows us to invest in record funding for medicine, the care and the research for all Australians. Our record is reflected in our results: record listings on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme; record investments in medical research; record bulk-billing; and record funding for our hospitals. This would not be possible without the coalition's strong economic management.
