Dr HENDY (Eden-Monaro) (14:48): My question is to the Minister for Communications. Will the minister update the House on the progress of the National Broadband Network? Has the company responsible for rolling out the network provided the government with a financial statement of what the cost to Australians would have been to continue with a full fibre network? Opposition members interjecting— Mr Pyne: Madam Speaker, on a point of order, the member for Isaacs made an unparliamentary expression across the chamber to me, and I ask that he withdraw it. Opposition members interjecting— Mr Pyne: I heard you. I heard it, and I have been required to withdraw it, and I would ask you to withdraw it. The SPEAKER: The member for Isaacs would assist the House if he would withdraw. Mr Burke: Madam Speaker, on the point of order, you have frequently asked the member for Isaacs to withdraw comments, and I have never complained. I was sitting next to him. Not a word came from his mouth. If it assists the House, he can pretend to withdraw, but it is one of the rare times he has been quiet. The SPEAKER: Perhaps we will accept—the Leader of the House? Mr Pyne: Madam Speaker, there was an exchange over this particular term between the Leader of the Opposition and me last year, in which I was misinterpreted in what I had apparently said across the chamber, so I know the term extremely well, and that was the term used by the member for Isaacs, and I ask for it to be withdrawn. Mr Dreyfus: I withdraw. The SPEAKER: I thank the member for Isaacs. I now call the member for Eden-Monaro. I am sorry; I think you had better read your question again. Dr HENDY: Thank you, Madam Speaker. I am very happy to. My question is to the Minister for Communications. Will the minister update the House on the progress of the National Broadband Network? Has the company responsible for rolling out the network provided the government with a financial statement of what the cost to Australians would have been to continue with a full fibre network?
