What I am seeking is: are NBN and Telstra on an easier ride because, within this bill, there is a process set out so that they can obtain an authorisation which, if they were out in the market and it was anybody else, they might not have to obtain? Then they would have to actually prove that they warranted the authorisation, and they have been given leniency by things that are written in this bill. That is basically what I am saying.
