I would like to know what the government's process is for establishing the overall start-up costs. You gave us earlier some rough calculations relating to operating costs, once the infrastructure is up and running, both of new storage capacity and whatever other infrastructure the ISPs and telcos need to install. Firstly, Senator Brandis, are you in a position to provide the Senate with the source documents that you are quoting from? It is my understanding that this parliament has not seen either of the two consultancies that were undertaken by PwC. It is good that you are reading from them; I had not heard those numbers before. Can you provide us with those documents or a summary of them, please?
