Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Why should taxpayers have to line the pockets of all of those highly paid consultants, whose only advice to the government has been to dump the rest of Telstra into the Future Fund? If the minister cannot advise the Senate now, will he at least take on notice how much was paid in commission to all those highly paid bankers and lawyers so that the Telstra shareholders and the people of Australia can know how much it cost?
