My question is to the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy. Given the minister’s statement as recently as May and the previous statements of the Minister for Finance and Deregulation, Lindsay Tanner, that Labor does not advocate the structural separation of Telstra and that it has never previously been Labor policy, why has the government now decided that it intends to force the breakup of Telstra?
