My question is to Senator Coonan, the Minister for Communications, Information Technology and the Arts. Can the minister confirm that she has appointed Clayton Utz and Mr Alan Sullivan QC to represent her in her legal stoush with Telstra about the Broadband Connect Infrastructure Program? Can the minister indicate if she will retain the same legal team for her latest legal fight with Telstra regarding CDMA licence conditions? Will the minister now inform the Australian people how much of their money she is spending on these two legal proceedings and what the potential cost would be of any findings against her?
