On the 10th anniversary of my election to this House, nothing much has changed except that the government believes in externalising its responsibilities, in moving from the public to the private, in simply auditing and benchmarking and in taking no significant responsibility for the operation of the government or its agencies. Although we support the extension of the powers to the Private Health Insurance Ombudsman, the fundamental problem here is that this externalises Commonwealth government business and control. I thank the House for this one gagged opportunity, and the minister’s consideration to do this on the 10th anniversary of my election.
