SenateWednesday 23 July 2025

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:14): Senator Ruston, you would know that data is published. You would also know, as I explained in November of 2023, the government has progressively increased the bulk-billing rate and made an additional commitment, in the context of the last budget, in relation to additional bulk-billing incentives.

The government's modelling estimates lead us to be confident that nine in 10 GP visits will be free by the end of the decade, which is what the Prime Minister was very clear about during the campaign. The PRESIDENT: Senator Ruston, second supplementary?
