Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:17): I am happy to answer the question, but I struggle to see how this is at all supplementary to the question that was asked. As a matter of courtesy I will answer, but you cannot cope with that, can you? Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! When there is silence, we will proceed. Senator WONG: Thank you, Mr President. I again invite you to consider whether this is in fact supplementary to the question earlier. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! You have 32 seconds to answer the question, Minister. Senator WONG: I suspect that in the figures that Senator Joyce has just given me he has probably mixed up capital expenditure and operational expenditure. There was an increase in capex, and the reason for that is fully explained in the corporate plan. We will also see, in fact, a slightly increased rate of return— Senator Joyce: Mr President, I rise on a point of order on relevance. The question is quite clear. We want to know what the outstanding Commonwealth government securities will be at the end of this year and the next three financial years, taking into account the blow-out that has occurred by reason of the NBN. The PRESIDENT: There is no point of order. The minister is answering the question. Senator WONG: I was going to say that the corporate plan also revises the government's peak equity requirements, and any consequent effects on PDI are factored into the budget. (Time expired)
