TONY Abbott's backflip on coalition plans to close Medicare Locals is not "credible", Federal Health Minister Tanya Plibersek says, accusing the opposition of having four different positions on Labor's health network.
Mr Abbott declared "we are not shutting any Medicare Locals" during a leaders debate on Wednesday, despite previously pledging a detailed review of the primary health care providers, and despite refusing to rule out closures earlier in the campaign.
"They first said they were going to get rid of them, then they said they were going to review them, then they said they couldn't rule out closing, and last night they said they could rule out closing," Ms Plibersek told ABC Television on Thursday.
"As soon as it get's hot for them, they do a backflip.
"How can anyone believe what they say, when they've had four positions on Medicare Locals so far, and they've had two positions in less than a week?"
Explaining his comments during the debate, Mr Abbott on Thursday said he would not guarantee all Medicare Locals would "stay exactly the same".
"But our focus is on trying to move money from the back office to frontline services," he told reporters in Sydney.
"And I am confident that Medicare Locals will flourish provided they focus on frontline services."
