I realise that this has hit a real raw nerve for the Labor Party, and I again repeat my challenge to Mr Rudd and the Labor Party: what are you hiding, what are you afraid of? Come clean with your costings, your coverage maps and your technical details about your broadband proposals for the full scrutiny of the Australian public. We all know that Mr Rudd cannot stand up to the states, cannot stand up to the unions and certainly will not be able to stand up to Telstra. He has absolutely nothing to offer the Australian public on broadband.
