“Mallee residents already have UOMO – the Unavoidability Of Missing Out – after three wasted years under Labor. It wasn’t so under the Coalition, with mobile black spots funded.
“The Coalition recognises the urgent need for better access to bulk billed services in the middle of Labor’s healthcare crisis. That is why a Dutton-Littleproud Coalition Government will match the $8.5 billion investment into Medicare."
“This is typical of Labor’s dismissive, scorched-earth approach to regional Australia. Zero engagement, zero interest, just send a public servant to respond," Dr Webster said.
Australians have watched on with envy as similar nations such as Canada, the USA, Europe and New Zealand cut rates by 1 to 2 per cent, and all we have until the RBA’s next meeting in April is ¼ of a per cent.
