Senator CONROY (Victoria—Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on Digital Productivity) (14:41): Senator Joyce is taking a new interest in Australia Post, a universal service for which the National Party have traditionally supported the concept of universal pricing across the country. But they do not support this on broadband—on postal stamps from the 20th century but not the 21st century means of communication, broadband. Australia Post's pricings are subject, he is correct, to ACCC regulations. Australia Post will, as always, be required to go through that process. There have been a number of increases in the stamp price over recent years. The ACCC have in fact knocked back Australia Post— Senator Joyce: Mr President, by reason that he has only got nine seconds left, and the point is one of relevance— The PRESIDENT: Is this a point of order, Senator Joyce? Senator Joyce: A point of order on relevance. The PRESIDENT: You should state that at the outset. Senator Joyce: I raise a point of order on relevance, Mr President. The PRESIDENT: Yes, that's better. Senator JOYCE: The question that was asked was: does he know of any plans to apply to the ACCC for increases on the declared services by reason of the carbon tax? It is either yes or no. The PRESIDENT: I believe there is no point of order. The minister is answering the question. I call the minister. Senator CONROY: Thank you, Mr President. I am not aware of any plans by Australia Post to apply for any issues around carbon pricing. (Time expired)
