Speaking on Thursday, moments after Bill Shorten’s speech, Mr Cormann looked to the past and pointed out that Labor once stopped listing recommended medicines on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme because it ran out of money.
He says now is not the time to go back to the unaffordable and ‘discredited ways’ of Labor, highlighting the Coalition’s track record of delivering $10 billion worth of new medicines on the scheme. Image: News Corp Australia

He’s not really a credible source. And this from a bloke who has not only doubled debt but exceeded the debt of every other government that preceded his.
Have you answered SenatorWong question about the date of the letter yet. You took it on notice, how about you attend to it and provide the date MathiasCormann
What instead of putting money in the hands of greedy corporates? Which would rather?
Bias News Australia.
A would-be opposition has just realised their Budget has under-performed relative to the would-be government’s Budget Reply.
A Labor government won’t run out of money. First they will spend all of ours, then they will borrow billions from Russia or China and leave our children to pay it down over the next 50 years or so. The good news for Australia is Shorten will be lionised by Marxists worldwide.
How can u & the Liberals say ur for Australians & lower tax for middle income earners..when 60% of workers earn under $90,000 and you give them almost nothing. Private health going up out of control, medicare out of pocket escalating..Were not stupid sick of ur deception & lies!
That’s all the LNP have left. Scare campaigns! Time for an election and a Labor Gvt! ✌🏽
You have a $536 billion debt - good work Mathias!
