Thank you. As I said, the senator would be aware that the government is transparent about those figures. Those figures are released regularly, and the senator spends a lot of time in Senate estimates asking questions about them.

I would also make the point that this is the same senator who described Medicare as 'unsustainable'. We on this side believe that it is important for governments, it is imperative for governments, to continue to invest in bulk-billing, and I'm sorry, Senator Ruston, if you have an issue with that.
