Birmingham, Sen Simon

Senator BIRMINGHAM (South Australia) (14:54): Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Will the minister confirm that, of the nine directors of NBN Co., all of whom were hand picked by his government, three have already stepped down and a fourth will do so in December? Is it also correct that the only board member with hands-on telecom experience, Doug Campbell, left in 2010? Is this, to use the minister's own word, as irrelevant as the 60 per cent-plus staff turnover in key management personnel?
