Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Given the minister's defence of the NBN process, does he agree with the former Prime Minister Mr Rudd that the decisions on the NBN were examples of good cabinet processes under the Rudd government? If proper processes were followed for the biggest initiative in the minister's portfolio, how can the minister justify being so scathing of cabinet processes under Mr Rudd? Is the minister actually at one with Mr Rudd on this issue?
