"unfettered legal power" over telecommunications regulation, including
the ability to request Australian telcos "wear red underpants on their
head".

The bizarre comments were made by Senator Conroy at the
Columbia Institute for Tele-Information conference in New York last
Monday, and were reported by communications publication CommsDay yesterday.

The comments were made in the context of Conroy arguing
against a proposal by the International Telecommunications Union that
could push up the price of broadband in Australia. The proposal could
see telcos charged more for international submarine cable access, the
costs of which could ultimately be passed onto consumers and push up the
price of broadband.

Mr Conroy told the conference:
“The regulation of telecommunications powers in Australia is
exclusively federal. That means I am in charge of spectrum auctions, and
if I say to everyone in this room 'if you want to bid in our spectrum
auction you'd better wear red underpants on your head', I've got some
news for you. You'll be wearing them on your head ... I have unfettered
legal power.”
