Mr. Peter Hendrick:

If NBI delivers the network, delivers on Government policy, delivers on the cost of the network, delivers value for money and delivers an outcome to shareholders that gives them the return they have targeted, the share in that gain is shared with the Minister. While we are taking commercial risk in rolling out this network, if we actually achieve what we want to achieve, which is delivering public policy, value for money and demand on this network, we share in that gain with the Minister.
