00:00
About a hundred party faithful have packed this pub in Melbourne's inner north tonight
00:06
to watch Greens leader Adam Vance launch the party's national campaign
00:10
alongside candidate for wills and former Victorian Greens leader Samantha Ratnam.
00:15
Now tonight's campaign launch is centred around one of the party's core election pledges
00:19
which is getting dental into Medicare.
00:22
New analysis by the Parliamentary Budget Office commissioned by the Greens and released today
00:26
suggests that families could save more than $2,500 in the first year of the expanded Medicare scheme
00:32
while families of four could save close to $30,000 over 10 years.
00:37
The policy would be paid for by the Greens' plans tax on big corporations and billionaires
00:42
which PBO analysis also suggests could generate $577 billion over the median term
00:49
which the party says is more than enough to cover the cost of bringing dental into Medicare.
00:54
Speaking to supporters tonight, here's what Greens leader Adam Vance had to say.
00:58
One in three people around the country at the moment are not voting for the major parties
01:04
and the experts are saying that at this election it could be as high as 40% of people
01:10
are saying that they don't want the major parties anymore.
01:13
People want these ideas, like dental into Medicare, like making childcare free, put on the table.
01:21
Now the Greens are looking to win several seats off Labor right across the country
01:25
including Wills and McNamara here in Melbourne
01:28
and if there is a minority government, it means the Greens could hold significant influence.
01:33
Let's look at that for Silence.
01:34
I don't see it.
01:37
Now the Greens have asked that William
01:38
told Mr.
01:53
I don't do it in those days too.
01:55
Come on, he fincaated it now.
