I have noted what the minister has said in this regard. He has cited an argument that there are certain non-eligible services that may need to be provided. He suggested that these may be services that are in some way analogous or incidental to the primary services to be provided. What he has not done, however, is provide an explanation of or an example of just what such services that are not approved eligible services may be that warrant NBN Co. once again having this flexibility in the bill.
