Yeah from the same Labor who promised to reduce carbon emissions, yet approved 29 new fossil fuel projects, promised to leave no one behind, promised to be more transparent, promised an open integrity commission with bite, blah, blah
Why use it as election bait when we’re in a cost of living crisis?
Why have you not done this already..& only ‘by 2030’?
Is it for when you run scared of Murdoch again & backtrack? Anyway Albanese, this Cabinet & Dutton, could all be too busy prepping for @intlcrimcourt.bsky.social investigations into their possible complicity in enabling the #GazaGenocide #Auspol
Okay cool so what about America, AUKUS, the cost of living crisis, Murdoch media, the housing crisis, our luck based economy, the lack of a federal law allowing Trans people to be recognised as their gender without cruel and unnecessary barriers?
Oh, look. A whole lot of posts from people who aren't happy with incremental steps forward. They want their golden unicorn now..so much so that they would see a Dutton government.
As in, throw out a few more crumbs to distract the population from the fact Labor has been increasing public funding for private health, over and above public health.
To say that, is not the same as saying Vote for Dutton.
But if memory recall is reliable, the rate of private funding has increased about 5%, while public at 4.5% over past 5 years, with at least $6 billion straight into private health, plus other funding.
Labor has made some big budget promises to improve things this year.
🌻I’m a staunch believer in Medicare but a:I’ll believe it when I see it & b:this’s purely a vote grabbing announcement because we’re in pre-election mode.If Labor really cared they’d have done this as soon as they were elected 4 years ago🙄This once Labor voter’s voting Independent 😊 #auspol
Absolutely agree.
If Labor cared about the people it would now be aiming to include dental, having already brought in this 'promise'.
A good incumbent would be saying: This is what we've done and if re-elected will carry on completing what you elected us for, plus these ideas once that's done...
They should also be expanding it to specialist consults. The policy is unlikely to see higher bulk billing though because it is still more financially lucrative for them to not bulk-bill. They want $100 a consult while this policy pays them just $69 a consult.
🌻hi-thanks & agree totally with what you said. Albanese was voted in with such momentum to bring about change (& to get rid of that bas%std Morrison 😡) but he’s not done many of the things he campaigned on.Very disappointing😐 😊

• Expand the bulk billing incentive to all Australians
• Boost Medicare payments to general practices that bulk bill every patient
• Train thousands more nurses and doctors.
All of this builds on the work that we’ve already done to
strengthen Medicare – for every Australian.

But yeah. I can't send out references right now.
