During the last election campaign, Anthony Albanese and Labor promised on more than 71 occasions that you only need your Medicare card and not your credit card to see a doctor. Head to https://t.co/1fSve0qTf3 to share your real experience.

Congratulations to my colleagues Julian Leeser and Josh Burns for winning the McKinnon Prize for Political Leadership last night - well deserved recognition for their inspiring principle and steadfast fight against anti-semitism.

BREAKING: Labor’s Aged Care Bill has just officially passed the Parliament with all Coalition amendments accepted. This will guarantee the release of 83k home care packages to older Australians this financial year, including the immediate release of 20k packages.

Anthony Albanese promised Australians that “all you need is your Medicare card, not a credit card.” The reality: Australians paid $166 million out of their own pockets to see a GP in May alone.

Under Labor, Australian families are paying more than they ever have before to see a doctor.

Saddened to hear of the passing of South Australian football legend Barrie Robran. Barrie Robran was a great regional South Australian and arguably our state’s greatest footballer. He leaves a legacy that will continue to inspire our state. Vale Barrie Robran MBE.

The Coalition delivered universal Telehealth, Labor has cut it.

Why does Anthony Albanese think it’s okay to blatantly lie to Australians?

This is devastating. @AlboMP’s credibility on health policy is in tatters. He has broken a key healthcare promise made to Australian parents to increase the National Newborn Screen Program to 80 diseases. Thank you to baby Nate’s mother for bravely sharing her story.

BREAKING: We will abolish Labor’s tax on family cars and utes. Saving you thousands when buying a new car.

This is another disgraceful lie from Labor, who are relying on scare tactics to distract from their failures. UCCs will be bulk billed under the Coalition - That has never been in doubt. We are even rolling out more UCCs to restore bulk billing which has plummeted under Labor.
BREAKING: The Liberals have let slip they will make Australians pay to go to a Medicare Urgent Care Clinic. Make no mistake, Peter Dutton is returning to his GP tax. Anyone who can't afford to pay Peter Dutton's Urgent Care Tax will be forced back to their local hospital ED.

Only a Dutton Coalition Government will make mental health a national priority and ensure all Australians have access to the support they need and deserve.

We welcome Labor’s backing of our successful Head to Health model, but we condemn the fact that they have spent millions of taxpayer dollars simply rebranding these centres to take credit for them.

To set the record straight - Labor’s Medicare Mental Health centres are rebranded Head to Health centres, which were established by the former Coalition Government.

Labor has also refused to establish a National Institute for Youth Mental Health, which Peter Dutton announced in the Budget in Reply. This will allow Australia to deliver a world-leading focus on youth mental health, including how best to respond to workforce issues.

Labor is still refusing to restore the Medicare mental health sessions they ripped away from 372,000 vulnerable Australians. This is unacceptable.
