QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr WALLACE (Fisher) (14:58): My question is to the Prime Minister. Regional Queenslander Janice is 77; her husband is 90. They've worked hard all their lives.

They've paid their taxes. But Janice has said that Labor's private health rebate cut will leave them out of pocket by $800 a year, forcing them to choose between paying the bills and getting the health care that they need. Minister, why won't this government reconsider its position on the private health insurance rebate?
