Let's talk about that great Labor legacy—it may be the greatest Labor legacy—Medicare. That's a bit controversial, but I think it's a good call. My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Health and Ageing, Senator McAllister. Delivering affordable health care when and where Australians need it is a key priority for the Albanese Labor government. How is the government making it easier for Australians to see a doctor or a nurse when they need urgent care?
