I will do that then. I foreshadow that Senator Allison will move:

At the end of the motion, add “but the Senate is of the view that prior to the sale, the Productivity Commission be required to conduct an inquiry into the private health insurance industry, with specific attention to enabling an efficient, competitive and viable private health insurance industry”.

And I move:

At the end of the motion, add: “but the Senate is of the view that prior to the sale, the government of the day be required to prepare and present a discussion paper to the Parliament addressing the (eventual) method of sale of Medibank Private Limited, with particular reference as to why that particular method was chosen over alternative methods”.
