Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I refer the minister to his interview on Lateline on 27 November last year, in which he said:

Every day in Parliament when I'm asked a question … I announce how many connections we've got.

Will the minister tell the Senate exactly how many fibre connections the NBN now has, how many premises it expects will be able to access a fibre connection by 30 June 2013, not 2021, and whether he sent a carrier pigeon to get information from NBN Co. yesterday or whether he has any updated information?
