Thank you for the supplementary question. I can understand that the Labor Party, which is absolutely bereft of any policy on telecommunications, is always desperate to know how we so successfully develop policies for rural and regional Australia, but the policy development process is not something I am going to share with either Senator Conroy or those on the other side. The important point is that this party sticks up for the bush and it will continue to do so.
