I draw Senator Joyce’s attention to the fact that some of his own colleagues have posed questions to my colleague, who I might say is doing a fantastic job after the weekend’s announcement. Senator Joyce’s own colleagues on the opposition frontbench—and backbench, for that matter—have posed questions to Senator Conroy about the financing and funding of the NBN, not to me in my capacity as Minister representing the Treasurer. I do not have those responsibilities or those representational responsibilities. They rest with Senator Conroy in his capacity as minister for communications.
