My question is again to the Minister for Health and Ageing. Doesn’t the Medibank Private brief for ‘Project good guys’ require PR firms to come up with strategies to manage scenarios which include, ‘A class action on behalf of members claiming the fund is owned by its members has been started and a member group actively campaigning against the sale is knocking on every door it can and is collecting signatures at major retail centres’? What advice has the government received about the potential for a class action by Medibank Private members who feel ripped off by the sale of Medibank Private and what will defending the class action cost?
