Going back to the questions, how much is the entity borrowing? That has nothing to do with relitigation. It is something you should know; you are the minister. If it falls over, does the taxpayer have to pick up the tab? Why are you building a fibre service to the home when you could have built it to the node? And why are you providing it in cities where there is already a market to provide it? Perhaps you could just tell us how much it is borrowing, what happens if it falls over, who picks up the tab and is the taxpayer underwriting it, just so we can get it on the record. Have you ever stood up for anything? Have you ever crossed the floor on anything, Minister, in your life?
