As polls have shown parliament heading toward minority government, some Labor backbenchers have aligned with the Greens’ push for Medicare dental.
As polls have forecasted a minority Labor government, several backbenchers have aligned with the Greens ’ push for universal dental coverage, estimated to cost at least $46 billion.It has since been reported by The Australian that several Labor backbenchers have also expressed strong support for publicly funded dentistry.
According to The Australian, Ms Polley said on Tuesday: “We need to do something about dental health. If I could tomorrow, I would.” “I don’t believe there’s any move to make it happen in this term of government… but there’s always pressure on to do it.” “Their $46 billion dental thought bubble has already, in the space of only a couple of days, been panned as unrealistic by the dental industry,” Mr Butler said.
