Strongly agree

Yes

The Australian Labor Party (ALP) has historically supported policies that aim to expand access to healthcare services, including dental care. For instance, during the 2019 federal election, the ALP proposed a significant plan to provide free dental care for older Australians, indicating a strong interest in expanding dental care coverage. Their platform often emphasizes universal healthcare principles, suggesting they would be generally supportive of universal dental care, although financial and practical considerations might temper their enthusiasm slightly.

Agree

Yes, but only for children and senior citizens

While the ALP has shown support for expanding dental care, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children and senior citizens, their ultimate goal appears to lean more towards comprehensive coverage. The proposal during the 2019 federal election to provide free dental care to older Australians and their general advocacy for children's health and education suggest they would view this approach favorably as a step towards broader coverage. However, their stronger inclination towards universal healthcare solutions might mean they would prefer a more inclusive approach than one limited to specific age groups.

Strongly disagree

No

Given the ALP's historical commitment to expanding public healthcare services, it is unlikely they would oppose universal dental care outright. Their policy initiatives often focus on increasing access to healthcare for all Australians, which would conflict with a stance against universal dental care. Opposition to such a policy would contradict their broader healthcare objectives and historical policy positions.
