Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I draw the minister’s attention to the fact that she did not answer the question. What did she mean when she said, ‘you might then consider what else you might do with it’? Doesn’t Senator Minchin’s comment in today’s Financial Review reinforce her own comments that the Future Fund will be able to be used for infrastructure spending into the future? Isn’t Labor’s plan a sensible response to her failure to ensure that Australians have the communications infrastructure they need for the 21st century?
