Mr Deputy President, I ask a supplementary question. Noting that, of course, broadband penetration in Australia is in fact getting worse, and given that News Corporation, PBL, Fairfax, the ABC, the Internet Industry Association, the Australian Local Government Association, the OECD, the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, analyst Paul Budde, the former Telstra CEO and the current Telstra CEO all agree that Australia is a broadband backwater, why is the minister the only person in the country still in denial about the nation’s inadequate broadband infrastructure?
