Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Given the emphasis the minister has just put on building it, will he confirm that the 2010 NBN corporate plan promised 1.269 million premises would be passed by fibre by June 2013 but that this was also downgraded in the revised corporate plan to a target of just 341,000 premises, just a quarter of the original promise? Minister, how are you going to connect all these extra premises when you cannot even meet any of your building time lines?
