It has been suggested that health funds are closing a policy and opening an almost identical one at a higher price with the Commonwealth Health Ombudsman suggesting this is common practice across the industry.

Health Minister Mark Butler told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "I warned them late last year, if you don't get your act together, I'm gonna act."

Mark Butler also slammed Peter Dutton's plans to live in Sydney, saying, "The irony is Peter Dutton has railed against people working from home more than others."

"And what he seems to be looking at is the most sort of cushy work-from-home arrangement to sit on the front deck of a place on Sydney Harbour to do one of the hardest jobs in the country."
