I was not referring to the Greens, Senator Abetz; I was referring to the National Party. You would think that the National Party could recognise the advantages that the NBN and the internet provide for business, particularly small business, in regional Australia.

I think they had 11 plans, Senator Conroy; I think it was 11 or 12 plans in 12 years.
