My question is to the Prime Minister. The Telstra CEO has stated that a national broadband network serving 98 per cent of Australians could cost up to $15 billion, while your government as late as last week claimed that it would cost between $8 billion and $10 billion. Is Telstra wrong or has the government grossly underestimated the cost of rolling out fibre to 98 per cent of our population?
