Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I ask again, Minister: can you please table the scoping study you have referred to so that the three million members of Medibank Private can make up their own minds about the veracity of the claims you make? Does the minister also recall stating that he had received legal advice that the government was the owner of Medibank Private’s assets and therefore could sell the organisation? Given the serious doubts that have now been raised by the Parliamentary Library report, will the minister now release that legal advice so that the three million members of Medibank can be assured of their rights?
