    Seems lots of Labor tweeters either don't understand what "privatisation" and "Medicare" mean, or just like parroting "privatise Medicare".

        that was a service to customers that was outsourced. Govt is/was considering outsourcing payment process for medical services

        Out sourced to private enterprise entities who can impose penalties on job seekers & withhold payments, effectively privatised

        Come on Bernard, don't be pedantic. Phrase's shorthand for many ways an #LNP govt could chip away at Medicare, per IPA agenda

        A difference between 'privatising' and 'outsourcing'. but both can have same result - lesser services.

        Like outsourcing "Job Search" or privatised education where some have gone broke, taking millions frm gov. & students

        Moreover there are five million reasons not to trust #LNP on Medicare, I.e. what their outsourcing investigation is costing us

        Or maybe it's the 3 year track record of outright lying by the Liberals that gives it credence. #ausvotes
