My question is to the Minister for Communications, Information Technology and the Arts, Senator Coonan. Can the minister confirm her statement in parliament on 19 June that the electorate maps of coverage of OPEL’s broadband network were released to all MPs on the day of the announcement and that all this information was public? Is the minister aware that the department is refusing to release the same maps unless they are kept confidential? Will the minister now direct her department to put the full set of electorate maps on its website? Will the minister also immediately release the list of 426 exchanges that will be ADSL2+ enabled by OPEL?
