My question is to the Minister for Finance and Deregulation, Senator Wong. Why does the government claim that the NBN is costing $35.7 billion when it is clear from the summary of the NBN business case that the real cost of this project is in fact $49.5 billion, representing a $6.5 billion blow-out on the government’s previously stated worst-case scenario?
