Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. If the minister is right that this is the orthodox practice of this government, why was the review forced upon his department by Senator Wong’s department rather than commissioned by the minister’s own department? Will the report on the NBN be released or, like the business case itself, will it be concealed from the public for fear of what it might reveal about the true cost to Australian households of the NBN?
