Perhaps I could indicate that I called, prior to the sale of Telstra—as was an agreed outcome with all the national competition reforms—for a Productivity Commission inquiry prior to the sale of an asset. That was actually something the Howard government refused to do, which is why I have always enjoyed the demands from those opposite that the Productivity Commission be involved in the NBN debate. They specifically refused to comply.
