My question is to Senator Conroy, Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy. Can the minister confirm, as the business case does, that $13.8 billion is to be paid to Telstra by 2020? How much of that will be paid by government debt, understanding that NBN Co. has no money of its own at the moment and is not getting any income? How much of that $13.8 billion will be paid by government debt and how much will be paid by NBN Co. when it starts making some money?
