Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Given the news that the privatisation of Medibank Private seems set to proceed, will the government commit to reinvesting the proceeds of that sale into the public health system so that ordinary people's access to a doctor is protected? If not, does that mean that, with $200,000 going to a PR firm to spruik the sale, the government cares more about spin doctors than it cares about real doctors?
