Thank you, Mr Speaker. You never know, we might get an answer. Has the minister seen a media release issued today by the Australian Medical Association about its submission to the ACCC on the sale of Medibank Private? Is the minister aware the media release is entitled ‘Medibank Private sale will drive up premiums’ and states:

The AMA, while not wishing to comment on the legality of the situation, doubts the morality of the sale …

Minister, is the AMA right?
