The entire premise of that question is false, so I am not sure how one can be relevant to a question whose premise is false. But let me be absolutely clear about this: key issues at the centre of negotiations and discussions are the timing, scope and direction of the rollout. That is something that I will again decline the opportunity to speculate on. I am not going to undermine the Commonwealth’s negotiating position on this matter, as with any other matter. The good news is, Senator Minchin, we are only weeks away from an announcement.
