The tripling of the bulk billing incentive, the biggest investment in bulk billing in the history of Medicare, is already making a difference. Dr Michael Clements, a GP from Magnetic Island, has said: 'Thank you very much for the tripling of the bulk billing incentive. It has made a difference and we've actually returned from private billing children and pensioners to bulk billing them, because it's a significant difference.'

We understand that those opposite hate Medicare, they hate bulk billing, they hate strengthening Medicare, but this is something this government takes seriously. (Time expired)
