QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator McALLISTER (New South Wales—Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme) (14:58): We are determined to lift rates of bulk-billing. That is why we are making these investments, and we are very pleased that, already, over a thousand practices that were previously mixed-billing have indicated that they are interested in becoming fully bulk-billing practices.

What that means is that more Australians will be able to see a doctor for free. The PRESIDENT: Senator Askew, second supplementary?
