National Broadband Plan Expenditure and Related Matters

Mr. Mark Griffin:
There were performance issues and issues with BCPs where penalties were applied. We have paid what is deemed permitted expenditure under the contract. It is not a case of NBI submitting a bill and the Department paying it. There is substantial due diligence to make sure that an assessment is made of every item that it submits to us to determine whether that is permitted expenditure.
