    No , you dont understand the basics.

    What has been the increase in the Australian CPI for Health over the last 10 years ?
    You and your team will scramble to find this but the index has risen from 100 ( base year 2011-2012 ) to 146.3 Dec 2021. Lets call it 140 in 2020

    What does that mean ?

    Now the Spend per capita on Health is what over that time ?

    Its gone from $5,550 per capita in 2010 to $7926 per capita in 2020 .

    What % rise is that ?

    Well its only about 43%.

    So we have Australian CPI for Health rising by about 40% and we have the spend to 2020 as about 43% .

    So the Libs have only spent about 3% more over 10 years above Health inflation.

    Mate , they have barely stood still.
