The ministers were a part of the Rudd government's lack of transparency, says Henry Ergas in an oped for 'The Australian' (13 July 2010)

After that bid fell over, the government, dizzy with its success in the polls, decided to build a fibre network of its own. Why? Because, Kevin Rudd said at the time, the alternative would have been to pay Telstra "billions of dollars in compensation".
