My question is to the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Conroy. I refer the minister to his statement to the Senate yesterday that:

NBN Co. go through … a daily assessment about how their partners are going. They are in constant contact seeking information from their construction partners. I am seeking to gain information from the NBN Co. to find out where that process is up to.

Minister, having indicated to the Senate yesterday that NBN Co. get daily updates and you are seeking information from them, can you now inform the Senate whether NBN Co. still expect their fibre network to be operational for 286,000 premises by 30 June this year?
