In response to a question from Senator Boyce, I am now advised that Senator Boyce was quoting me from, as I understand it, a speech I gave in respect of the Medibank Private Sale Bill 2006. I think it is disingenuous to argue that that relates to what is now occurring, which is a not-for-profit conversion for a profit organisation. It is quite disingenuous to take those quotes from what is otherwise a speech in relation to what the Howard government was proposing to do in relation to the Medibank Private Sale Bill 2006.
