My question is to the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Conroy. Noting the minister's enthusiasm, I hope he will be able to answer the two very precise questions that I have. Will the minister inform the Senate exactly how much has been spent over the last five years in establishing and building the National Broadband Network. Further, noting the minister's statement in response to Senator Cameron's question earlier that there are now 30,000 connections to the NBN, will the minister inform the Senate how many of those connections are via a fibre network?
