Malcolm Turnbull (Wentworth, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Communications and Broadband) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to the Treasury’s advice to the incoming government which warns that the $43 billion National Broadband Network ‘carries significant risks, including financial risk for the public balance sheet and risks around competition and efficiency’. Will the Treasurer precisely explain to the House the nature of these risks, when they were first drawn to his attention and why, given the gravity of the Treasury’s warning, a thorough cost-benefit analysis of this project is not being conducted as a means of managing and mitigating those risks?
