I want to ask the minister a question about a very different copper network. In the areas that I am concerned about, the rollout in the suburbs surrounding the Bassendean exchange and the rollout in the suburbs of Armadale and Kelmscott, we certainly do not have the bright, shiny, high-velocity copper that the minister loves talking about. In fact, we have got a highly degraded rubbish copper that has difficulty even providing voice calls when it rains very often. It certainly has got very little extra capacity, even to deliver a modest ADSL service. My question is a very specific one, and I am going to wait because there is not much point in me asking the minister a question if the minister does not hear that question.
