Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I refer the minister to Telstra’s statement today in which they say that their detailed bid has been prepared but ‘could not be submitted due to a number of unresolved issues in the government’s request for proposals.’ Why has the minister sought to mislead this Senate by suggesting that Telstra has submitted a bid?
