ONE Nation candidate Brandon Turton says he doesn't trust the major parties' pledges to lift bulk-billing rates - or any of their promises.

“I don't accept Labor's ridiculous claims that any part wants to abolish bulk billing - it is blatant false election scaremongering that does not fit with the facts at all,” Mr Turton said.

“I don't accept Labor's promises to lift bulkbilling rates to 90 per cent at a date beyond the forward estimates.”

Mr Turton said, in the 2023-24 Budget, Labor announced an additional $3.5 billion for Medicare to lift bulk-billing rates but they instead dropped from 51.7 per cent to 47.7 per cent, according to the 2025 Report on Government Services.

“This is why Labor can't be trusted on anything they say about Medicare and why I can't even guess if this new announcement will help people in rural and regional areas like Grey,” he said.

“One Nation plans to lift bulk-bulling rates by reviewing the Medicare rebate system to ensure it can better remunerate GPs.

“Many GPs are bricks and mortar small businesses with increasing costs such as insurance, rates, electricity, rents and wages.”

Mr Turton said that, without reform and a crackdown on Medicare fraud, there was a risk GPs would leave the system altogether.
