About the episode

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has unveiled an historic commitment to Medicare as the focus of Labor's 2025 Federal Election campaign. The government has announced an $8.5 billion Medicare boost over four years the biggest in 40 years, to expand bulk billing and cut GP costs. The Coalition has been quick to match this funding pledge, also claiming Labor has weakened Australia's public health system.
