Greg Hunt has seized on an 'embarrassing' backflip by Labor after the Opposition confirmed plans for urgent care clinics had not been formally costed by the Parliamentary Budget Office as Anthony Albanese had earlier indicated.

Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese revealed on Wednesday his party"will roll out 50 GP-led enhanced Medicare urgent care clinics" if it wins the May 21 Federal Election.

The costing of Labor’s Urgent Care Centre policy is based on work done by the PBO, but for the avoidance of any confusion, has not been formally costed by the PBO.April 14, 2022 "This is an embarrassing economic and health backflip for Anthony Albanese and his team," Mr Hunt said. "Labor continues to scrape the bottom of the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd election barrel for health policy ideas, reheating and rehashing the Rudd Government's failed super clinics announcement today," he said in a statement.

The Australian Medical Association said they are"unconvinced" with the proposal because they believe the clinics would not tackle the major issues plaguing the health system.

GregHuntMP is an WEF pawn! I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him.

I thought this pipsqueak was retiring at this election. Is he still on the public purse.

Why does sky even have a twitter? Your demographic of over 60s dont use twitter.

Hilarious the highest spending wasteful Govt in Australia’s history get testy on how much a LAB policy to help “we the people” will cost. If Hunt had any concern for Australians he would be applauding urgent care clinics albeit by keeping his mouth shut to avoid LNP firing squad

And the Prime Minster and he’s cabinet tried to cover up a rape inside Parliament House,they have to live with that hanging over heads,you want to support EvilPeople do things like that,disgusting.VoteThemAllOut2022

ALBO's Bloody advisers are keeping him away from talking about the rapes in PH, Fires, Floods, Pork Barrelling etc and he is left to flounder/fodder for the media. SACKALBOsADVISERS. Get on the front foot.

Says the person involved in buying vaccines that weren’t ordered. Required intervention by Rudd, but arrived so late the LNP had to pretend they were in charge and competent by dressing up the roll out in military uniforms,

Greg hunt has desperately deflected from his own party backflipping on their ICAC promise while blaming Labor for their failure. The LNP will always lie to you. LNP has zero integrity. auspol AlboForPM

Greg hunt forgot everything needed when Covid started so he’s still useless.

Where’s your story on the Libs abject failure in not introducing a federal ICAC? A broken promise and lie.

Federal ICAC

Really 'f**k SKY news!

Have the libs brought out their costings for their policies, oh wait, first you need to have policies to have costings...nevermind

Hunt needs to front a retrospective ICAC!

Greg Hunt... thank goodness you are leaving after May. For the rest of you Liberals staying on after May. We shall see how many 'go with Greg'...

How many deaths in aged care?

Albanese is making things up on the run. Looking like another unlosable election coming up.

What AlboMP has not costed anything before he opened his mouth? I’m shocked.

Oh no, not again AustralianLabor ABC InsidersABC Greens

Did you order the vaccines 6 months too late? Did you forget to order RAT tests?

I John Howard's words SO WHAT

Australian democracy needs reform on donations to politicians & parties, reform on politicians expenses, enforceable codes of parliamentary conduct & political advertising & an effective Federal ICAC. Independents have promoted all these. The LNP support none.

He is the worst Health Minister we have had in decades and couldn't even secure the vaccine which was his job. Nothing he says is relevant

Hunt should instead of reflect on his own failures as health minister, in particular the shambolic vaccine procurement and rollout that resulted in extended lockdowns and restrictions. economic loss and unnecessary loss of life.

Albo's tasks is monumental against ranting tongue and powerful global media mogul and LNP media reporters Skynews is planning a 1 PARTY STATE ? SkyNews Anti Albanese tweets: Fri 15/4.. 1 tweet at 9.55am Thu 14/4..23 tw Wed 13/4..29 tw Tues. 12/4..19 tw LNP all favourable

LyingAlbo

What little Greggie could do to be useful is get his own party to just do what they said they’d do at the last auspol election… little things… like the integrity commission ScottyThePathologicalLiar guaranteed would be introduced.

God bless the day I came across your profile on Twitter. You are a God sent man always remain thankful to you Levisdoustov He turned my $1500 to $10000 I can’t thank him enough Levisdoustov you are a good man with good heart, thank you so much.

Imagine Labor in control of the country at the time we are on the brink of the world war
