Good morning. The falling popularity of bulk billing among GPs is creating a serious problem for parents. The Guardian’s Essential poll reveals a lot of people want governments to help pay bills by putting a cap on essential services such as energy. Plus, the dire consequences of the high cost of abortion are revealed in a new study.
Most people think Australia’s economic system is “broken” and want the government to take a more active role, including by imposing price caps on essential services, the latest Guardian Essential poll suggests. The findings come as the government prepares to bring industry and unions together at next week’s jobs and skills summit. The survey of 1,065 people also found strong support for industry-level bargaining and a super profits tax.
