As I explained in answer to Senator Minchin’s first question, this is about the most vertically integrated telco in the world. It is in every platform. It is in cable, in mobile, in fixed; it is in all the platforms. We are saying that it is time to introduce some competition into this market. I read Senator Coonan’s quote yesterday. As I repeated yesterday, we should have given a bit more thought to separating before we floated it, but to the country’s detriment she was rolled by Senator Minchin—who was interested in nothing more than propping up Telstra and flogging off its shares.
