Labor supports the Private Health Insurance Amendment (Income Thresholds) Bill 2021 and has not sought to delay its passage through the parliament. Unfortunately, the government failed to meet their own 1 April deadline for the passage of this bill and now Australians have been left waiting for the important reform. Labor understands the frustrations of families who were promised a 1 April start date for extended health insurance coverage for young and disabled dependants. I commend the bill to the Senate.
