Putting dental into Medicare proves to be VERY popular amongst all voter groups… Greens got dental into Medicare for kids last time there was minority govt and we are fighting for it again, for everyone! Everyone should be able to go to the dentist and use Medicare card, just like at the doctors. - ThreadSky

It’s axiomatic.
But unfortunately it takes bold vision - something plain vanilla @albomp.bsky.social lacks in spades.

It has always been nuts to exclude the mouth from what gets included in the human body.
Now talking of nuts, imagine if Medicare excluded those.

Even if it's for basic dental hygiene, fillings and extractions and dentures for seniors, that would be a good start. I can't speak for other states but free dental clinics in NSW have very long waiting lists and eligibility is restrictive, must hold one of three gov't concessions cards. #auspol

Looking forward to a much-enlarged crossbench shortly.

I fully agree Sarah, but it will have to be funded. With big business, especially the miners, not paying their fair share of tax, tax reform should be also on the agenda. All parties seem to be afraid of the backlash from the business lobby and continually skirt around the issue.
