Yes, the bill sets out a deal that NBN are involved in between Telstra and the NBN. It is not about the National Broadband Network. The bill has nothing to do with the NBN. It is about a deal between the NBN Co. company and Telstra. But, as I was saying, just a short time ago in this chamber they tried to block debate on this bill yet again and they lost.

I can understand that they want to come in here and create some colour and movement to hide the fact that the parliament continues to take the enlightened view about the future. (Time expired)
