On a point of order, Mr President: the question asked of the minister was a very straightforward and direct question. It was whether he would inform the Senate of the latest advice he has received from NBN Co. regarding the number of premises to be passed and whether he has received any information which differs from Mr Quigley's latest forecast of 286,000 premises. The minister has not gone anywhere near answering the question about the most recent advice he has received from NBN Co. as the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy. I ask you to direct the minister to the particulars of the question and to be directly relevant to it.
