You guessed it, Senator Sherry, there aren’t any. I do, though, congratulate Senator Minchin on an important milestone that he has reached today—and I believe it could be even higher since question time started: 150 media releases since he took on the shadow communications portfolio 51 weeks ago today. That is 150 media releases in 357 days and not one of them has flirted with a policy. That is a lot of time at the crease without troubling the scorer. That milestone is the sole portfolio achievement of an opposition bereft of communication policies. (Time expired)
