My question is also to the Minister for Broadband Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Conroy, in respect of his proposal to spend billions of taxpayer funds on the National Broadband Network, ongoing uncertainty about the cost of the NBN and the implication that this will have for Labor’s massive borrowing and Labor’s massive debt. I refer to the minister’s statement to the Press Club in March 2007, when he said:
… there is a cost to the individual, because when you connect fibre to the home, you’ve got to have a sort of box to receive the fibre to the home, which can be up to $1,000 at the moment …
Minister, do your kicking-the-tyre cost estimates—
