Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I again ask the minister: what is he doing to find out which member of his team leaked this information to journalists? Is the minister aware that the Financial Review also quoted a stockbroker saying that, if Telstra were a small mining company, the stock would have been suspended by now? Hasn’t the market in Telstra shares been hopelessly compromised by the government and the behaviour of individuals on your T3 sale team? Will the minister accept responsibility and ensure that the sale team fully complies with the law?
