Senator MOORE (12:42 PM) —Whilst we are giving support to this piece of legislation, we have a number of questions and we would like to seek some answers to clarify some positions. Most of them were raised in the speeches made on the legislation. I would like to start by saying that we share the concern about the family impact statements, Senator Allison, and we also seek to know the process and how that will be done.

Minister, one of the things that has been mentioned is that this particular piece of legislation is cost neutral, that there is no real cost in the process. We are interested in the issue of the advertising around the changes to the name HIC, which is now going to be Medicare Australia. We would like to have some information about what the expected cost would be of any advertising campaign and also those all-too-often and necessary changes to the whole rebadging aspect of a significant change with a rename in an organisation. It is a significant cost in terms of stationery, process, advertising—even the signage that goes up outside offices. We know that there are far too few current offices—we hope that there could even be some more offices out of this process. What indication is there of the budgetary impact of those changes?
