No, I'm not finished. Minister, I'm asking you: why are you knocking back the requirement for people who go to see the doctor with a Medicare card to show identification—to back it up with identification that they are actually the person utilising that service funded by the taxpayer? I will go back to the point again—$3 billion a year in rorts. Why will you not support this requirement to show identification, when we insist that people going to pubs and clubs have to show identification to go and have a beer or have a meal?
