I am aware that one of the big government initiatives is the National Broadband Network. It touches many portfolios. It touches the health portfolio, with the introduction of e-health. It touches the education portfolio, with some of the opportunities that will be happening there. It touches the small business portfolio, and in my own electorate I have seen various initiatives which will be enhanced greatly, including cyber wine-tasting across continents, across seas—tasting wine from McLaren Vale over in New York. My question to the minister is: could the minister outline some of the NBN related initiatives in his portfolio and some of the developments that are happening there?
