Thank you, President. My question is to the minister representing the Minister for Health, Disability and Ageing, Senator McAllister. We on this side of the chamber believe that the only card you need when you see a doctor is your Medicare card and not a credit card. That's why the Albanese Labor government delivered a historic investment in Medicare to help Australians access affordable health care. How is this investment helping more Australians see their GP for free?
