PRIME MINISTER:

in history going through all of that.
JOURNALIST:

PRIME MINISTER:
You'd be much better off with the full sale of Telstra.
JOURNALIST:
If the sale goes through tonight, when can we expect the whole thing
to get going?
PRIME MINISTER:
That really is a matter for the market. But it'll be done as
soon as is appropriate, and we'll have less debt and we'll
have more happy shareholders.
JOURNALIST:
So as early as October?
PRIME MINISTER:
I don't want to put a time on it. I think it's a matter
for the market.
