Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I refer the minister to his statement to the Senate yesterday:

The government will now consider the full range of options for the awarding of this contract and will make a decision no later than March next year.

Will this be a decision in March on how the government will undertake a new selection process, or a decision on who the ongoing provider of the Australia Network service will be?
