ACNeilson poll shows the Government's proposal to sell Medibank has attracted an emphatic thumbs down from voters.
Only 17 per cent of respondents support Medibank being sold. Opposition is stronger among minor party (77 per cent) and Labor (76 per cent) supporters. But 46 per cent of Coalition voters are also against the sale.
The increasingly jittery Howard government is to delay the sale of Medibank Private until 2008, Finance Minister Nick Minchin said today.
But on advice, it will hold off on the listing until after the next election!
Senator Minchin said the Government was committed to the sale and would introduce enabling legislation in October, which it try to force through parliament by the end of December!
