Mr WARWICK SMITH (Minister for Sport, Territories and Local Government and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Sydney 2000 Games)(10.52 a.m.)
—I thank the opposition shadow minister, the honourable member for Dobell (Mr Lee), for his remarks and I will certainly relate them to the very capable Minister for Communications and the Arts, Senator Alston. I conclude by saying that I will take that matter on notice. You can be assured that a strong and purposeful government, with legislative backing and the community's interest uppermost in its considerations, will ensure that Telstra will abide by both the spirit and practice of the legislation to ensure that the outcomes are as the parliament would wish. The parliament, by its very actions this morning, has unanimously supported this legislative package. I am sure Telstra will be reading my remarks closely.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
