My question is to the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Conroy. The opposition has been joined by a chorus of notable groups and individuals in calling for a cost-benefit analysis of the NBN, including Treasury and the OECD. Most recently, economist and Reserve Bank board member Warwick McKibbin has echoed these calls, only to be dismissed by the government. Will the minister explain why the government will not perform a cost-benefit analysis on the single biggest infrastructure investment in this country’s history?
