My question is to the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Conroy. What is the dollar value of the equity contribution being provided by the federal government to the Tasmanian NBN company this financial year and over the life of the project? What take-up assumptions has the government based its equity contribution on, or is Tasmanian Premier Bartlett correct when says that ‘the take-up rate doesn’t matter’?
