Senator FIFIELD (Victoria—Manager of Government Business in the Senate, Minister for Communications, Minister for the Arts and Acting Minister for Regional Communications) (14:07): I thank the senator for her question. NBN advised me on Wednesday the 22nd that they were looking to have a pause. As you'd be aware, Senator, section 91 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act states that the directors of a wholly-owned Commonwealth company must give the responsible minister reasonable notice if the directors become aware of any significant issue that may affect the company or any of its subsidiaries. Such requirements were put in place to ensure that shareholder ministers and their departments have adequate notice to assess the implications of issues raised by a government business enterprise. As colleagues are aware, NBN made an announcement yesterday. The PRESIDENT: Senator O'Neill, a supplementary question? Senator O'Neill: No; a point of order. The PRESIDENT: Has the minister concluded his answer? Senator O'Neill: Minister, you didn't answer the question with regard to when Prime Minister Turnbull was made aware of the delays. The PRESIDENT: Sorry, Senator O'Neill. I wasn't sure if Senator Fifield sat in conclusion or if he sat when you stood. He sat in conclusion. Senator O'Neill, you have a supplementary question.
