My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Health and Ageing, Senator McAllister. Minister, the ACT has a dire shortage of GPs. We have fewer GPs per capita than even some outer regional areas in Australia. We constantly have the lowest bulk-billing rate in the country, by a long margin, and the ACT government projects it will need at least 33 additional graduate doctors to staff our hospitals by 2041. Given all this, why is it that the ANU has missed out on being allocated additional Commonwealth supported places for the ACT's only medical school?
