Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Can I further ask the minister: is it true that as a result of Labor cancelling the OPEL project, my state of Queensland has missed out on gaining 340 new wireless broadband base stations, the upgrade of some 80 telephone exchanges and the rollout of thousands of kilometres of new fibre optic backhaul this year? What is Labor’s time frame for delivering new services for Queenslanders?
