SUBMISSION TO MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND AGEING ON PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE BILL 2006

Date: 14/12/2006

Title: Private Health Insurance Bill 2006

Type: Policy & Advocacy: Submission

Abstract: Letter to Tony Abbott, Minister for Health and Ageing, regarding the Private Health Insurance Bill 2006. Our chief concern is that the Bill alters the basicpremise of business in Australia by proposing that directors owe their duties to shareholders or the public rather than the corporation. It also goes against the recommendations made by CAMAC on personal liability for corporate fault.
