Amazing back-flip.
All planned Medicare rebate changes 'off the table'.
Consultations now to begin...
A matter to pause and consult on!
I have to say Minister Ley is sounding much more reasonable than her hopeless predecessor.
She has noticed there are unintended consequences - especially on the Rebate Changes for the short consultations.
Minister Ley says at present she does not actually have a plan C - hence the consultation!
Note: Mr Abbott still keen on Co-payment so will be interesting to see what happens in Senate in February (or later).

Fascinating stuff! Just yesterday Minister Ley issued her very first press release, denouncing Labor for a "sneaky backflip" which she claims is all "About Politics, Not Patients”
