Stop the Medicare Sell-Off
Senator DI NATALE: I, and also on behalf of Senator Lazarus, move the motion as amended:
That the Senate—

(b) notes That the sale will open the door for further privatisations within the Department of Human Services and other federal government agencies, including the Australian Taxation Office; and
