On ABC RN's today, Sabra Lane claimed Labor froze Medicare funding! Health Minister @markbutlermp.bsky.social pushed back. Yes, there was a brief pause for a few months. But Dutton froze it for SIX YEARS! Sabra Lane then ended the interview w/o acknowledging the truth of this! #auspol #AusVotes2025

When asked how they will fund, Ruston suggests all the things we have voted against are the areas we cut.
She should have. She was incredibly rude. And she was wrong.
Her shouty self righteousness raised the temperature of these interviews considerably.
Yes that was intended only to last until July 2014, but the resulting rebate reduction was *not* ever intended to be reversed.

I expected better from Sabra.

I hope she makes a correction tomorrow
Are they not up to the task of competent interviewing?
Obeying orders from Further Up not to upset Murdoch/LNP?
Most ABC interviews these days are frustrating, disappointing at best.
