I'll take that interjection. If you'd been sitting here during my contribution—look it up in the Hansard if you like. I can tell you we're doing more than your government ever did. We're acknowledging there's an issue. We're investing in strengthening Medicare. We're making sure GPs have access to funding, and we are making sure that if you have a Medicare card you can actually use it under an Anthony Albanese Labor government. For nine years people in rural and regional areas have not been able to do that. (Time expired)
