Senator FIFIELD (Victoria—Manager of Government Business in the Senate, Minister for Communications and Minister for the Arts) (14:15): As I was saying, nbn co is on track to have 2.6 million premises able to connect to the NBN this financial year. It is on track to have one million activations in total this financial year in aggregate. I should draw something to the attention of the chamber—that is, under the previous government only— Senator Wong: Mr President, I rise on a point of order going to direct relevance. There was only one question. It was this: 'I refer again to nbn co documents which reveal that all other significant milestones of FTTN continue to remain behind target. Is this correct?' That is the question. Could the minister please address it? The PRESIDENT: Order! Minister, I remind you of the question; you have 28 seconds. Senator FIFIELD: I have already addressed that part of the question. Under this government, every milestone in the corporate plan has been met over the last six quarters. In contrast, only 15 per cent of the previous government's target— Senator Conroy: Mr President, I rise on a point of order. The question is very simple, and the minister is deliberately flouting your ruling. He is deliberately quoting statistics that are not relevant to the actual question you have asked him to address. I ask you, Mr President, to draw him back to the question about the FTTN rollout. Mr Turnbull's rollout and his rollout, not other rollouts. The PRESIDENT: I did hear the minister say in his answer, prior to you getting to your feet, that all milestones are currently ahead. Senator Conroy: That is not the answer to the question he was asked! The PRESIDENT: I cannot arbitrate on the details of the question. I can hear a question, and I can hear an answer. And in the latter part of his question I heard relevance. I will ask the minister to continue. Senator FIFIELD: I have been talking about the past, the present and the future. I have covered all bases in that regard. But I do not accept the premise of Senator McLucas's question, so therefore it is impossible for me to satisfy it. (Time expired)
