Honestly, good. The current system is ridicuous and this is bringing light to that.

Dentists actively lobby against this (or at least the industry body has previous), but dentistry must come under the public system.

While we're at it, let's dismantle the stupid private-subsidy system we have under Medicare while we're at it and create a fully public and universal healthcare system, thanks!

inb4 "dentists will leave": not it we pay internationally competitive salaries, which we can definitely afford as a wealthy nation.

Abolish private health.
