not just increase the GST, but broaden it to include raw food and medical services.
when Abbott froze the Medicare rebate to GP practices he forced GPs to add the gap fee. this in turn caused the least wealthy to go to Emergency Depts at hospitals, so your EDs became inundated, flooded with people with minor ailments all of whom had to be seen by medical staff.
this is what created the queueing ambulances that made headlines all over the country.
I have no doubt Taylor will take up Abbott's freeze again and worsen the crisis in EDs and ambulance services.
