Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. The minister has again failed to answer the question, but I will put my supplementary. Is the minister’s refusal to make the maps and exchange details publicly available because they show that 90 per cent of the exchanges getting OPEL ADSL2+ already have ADSL and that 40 per cent of exchanges getting OPEL ADSL2+ already have it? Don’t the Broadband Connect Infrastructure Program guidelines say that coverage should be provided to under-served areas and those that do not have access to metro-comparable broadband? Hasn’t the minister breached her own guidelines?
