I would like to thank all senators who have spoken today on the Telecommunications Legislation Amendment (Fibre Deployment) Bill 2011. Regrettably, many of the opposition's comments—those of Senator Birmingham, Senator Joyce, Senator Macdonald and Senator Bernardi, which at times was like listening to people baying at the moon—have focused on its opposition to the NBN.
