Mr President, I have a supplementary question. Now that the minister has effectively admitted that he will not keep his promise to roll out the broadband network by the end of this year, I ask: is the minister aware of reports that uncertainty about the network rollout is causing a broadband investment freeze in new housing estates such as Springfield in Queensland? What is his response to this broadband investment freeze while he dithers over his network rollout?
