My question is to the Minister for Finance, Senator Cormann. Senator, you have announced that Medibank Private, which has been in government hands since it was founded in 1976, will be sold off. At the same time, the government has been on the public record falsely claiming that health spending is unsustainable. Rather than making it more expensive for Australians to see a doctor, will you instead commit to reinvesting every cent from the sale of Medibank Private into Australia's health system and rule out a $6 GP co-payment?
