Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Can the minister confirm that she became the minister for communications on 18 July 2004? I ask again: can the minister confirm that, according to the OECD, Australia’s international ranking for the use of broadband has not improved from 17th in the developed world since that time? Can the minister explain why Australia’s international ranking in the use of broadband has failed to improve while she has been minister for communications?
