Mr President, I ask a second supplementary question. Is the minister aware that respected economic consultancy Concept Economics conducted a rigorous cost-benefit analysis of the proposed NBN, which found that its costs would exceed its benefits by between $14 billion and $20 billion? Doesn’t this finding necessitate a full cost-benefit analysis by the government before it borrows up to $40 billion to pay for its optical fibre rollout?
