Turnbull was being interviewed on Channel 7's Sunrise when he was asked by host Samantha Armytage, "Can you guarantee our viewers will not pay more to go to the doctor due to this freeze?"

Armytage was referring to the Coalition's decision to keep the GP Medicare rebate frozen. It's a decision the Australian Medical Association has said will lead to GPs lifting prices.

Turnbull replied, "Sam, absolutely. The bulk-billing is at its all time high."
