Just learnt that finding a good GP is difficult enough but a bulk-billing one nigh on impossible

I learned that if you tip a ride on mower on it's side & you chose the wrong side it will dump it's oil into the cylinder & hydraulic so bad you think the battery is a dud. Then you go to buy a battery & the smart arse salesman asks if you tipped it onto it's side recently.................
Well matey you talked yourself out of a new battery & I covered everything in sight with oil & petrol when I removed the plug & cranked it over.

Given that almost 80% of GP visits are bulk billed Australia wide I think that may be a location specific bit of knowledge.I just moved (in Brisbane) and have already found multiple good GP's with no problem. Canberra is one of the hardest places in Australia to find a bulk billing GP. Only roughly 50% of GP visits there bulk billed.

We bought it second hand for $600 so can't expect much!
