medibank div. to help budget

THE Federal Government-owned healthcare provider Medibank Private looks set to hand over another $300 million special dividend to its major shareholder in 2012/13.

It will be the second such payment in three years, and comes at a time when the Government has promised to bring the budget back to surplus despite declining revenues, an uncertain global economy and falling commodity prices.
