Broadband's a really key one. If we hadn't have had the broadband announcement before we came to this conference you'd sort of be ringing your hands, really, because the announcement certainly does start to lay the foundation for a lot of things that need to happen to make the economy more productive, efficient, competitive, and it could not be so without it.

It's a rallying point for the whole of industry. I think it gravitates a lot of the issues that we're talking about directly to that particular place.

Then again, if you look at the other countries, you look at Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan, even Bangladesh, and see where their initiatives are, and the first thing their initiatives are around is around the infrastructure. So we've actually made that decision now, we're behind in terms of that decision timeframe compared with a lot of the other economies, we've also got a much longer run-in to get it implemented, so what we need to do is accelerate that, and it'll be interesting to see what NBN and Telstra can actually work out, because the sooner they can work out something that folds infrastructure together, then the better off and the more accelerated it's gonna be on the path to establishing that infrastructure, then we can do stuff on top of it.

So, [Australia] needs to accelerate what we're already doing. I personally believe we need to be very mindful of where we stand to our world competitors on a statistical basis, so we need to be saying to ourselves, 'we need to improve our position in the OECD nations' for example, from being number 15 in the global competitiveness thing to being number five. We need to set some targets that are bench marked globally, that will position us, if we achieve those targets, as a much more successful economy. There's a very strong political connection here, because a successful economy means wealthy citizens, and wealthy citizens means they vote for parties that make the successful economy -- that is now a very direct link which is clearly understood -- and is therefore a need to position this economy more successfully.

Another thing just on that, we've always sort of rung our hands saying how do you connect ICT and the imperatives around technology to votes for politicians? Because until you can get their attention in relation to votes, then you can't get their attention in relation to ICT, so we had to connect those two.
