My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. During the election campaign, the Prime Minister promised Australians that when they visit the doctor, 'Under Labor, all you will need is your Medicare card, not your credit card.' The Department of Health, Disability and Ageing estimates that 23 per cent of GP clinics will not take up the bulk-billing incentive. Can the minister confirm whether the Prime Minister still stands by his promise that every Australian will need only their Medicare card when they visit the GP?
