Senator LUDWIG (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister Assisting on Queensland Floods Recovery) (14:56): I thank Senator Xenophon for his second supplementary question. If we do go to Medibank Private, I can remind Senator Xenophon and the Senate that they would be commercial arrangements that Medibank Private would have with the relevant hospitals. Medibank Private is a government-owned enterprise but as a commercial entity it does operate—and I am sure that Senator Xenophon would be familiar with this—at arm's length from government, ensuring that there is a level playing field with other private health insurers. However I do understand that Medibank has offered to brief Senator Xenophon about these operations and I will certainly take any part of that question today to Minister Plibersek in respect of this matter for her to see if she wants to provide any additional information in answer to it.
