Mr BEAZLEY —My question, again, is to the Prime Minister. Why did the Prime Minister only guarantee untimed local voice and data calls out of people's residences last night in a telecast on Prime Television? Is this because he intends to allow the introduction of both timed voice and data calls for business, in clear breach of his election undertakings? How will timed voice and data calls help small business?
