My question is to the Minister for Health and Ageing. I refer him to his press conference on 26 April in which he announced the sale of Medibank Private. Minister, isn’t it a fact that Medibank Private has sent this brief to public relations firms, asking them to tender to run a PR campaign called ‘Project good guys’, which would ‘advise on reputation matters throughout the highly changeable privatisation period’? Minister, what is ‘Project good guys’ costing and what upwards pressure will it put on Medibank Private members’ premiums?
