My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Minister Gallagher. Since coming to government in May 2022, strengthening Medicare has been a central priority of the Albanese Labor government. We want Australians to have access to more bulk-billed visits to the doctor. We want Australians to be able to access urgent care when they need it. We want Australians to have access to cheaper medicines on the PBS. Why has the government prioritised funding for strengthening Medicare in the budget?
