I would like to draw the minister’s attention to the fact that the Telstra fibre-to-node broadband plan currently being discussed is going to be limited to the five mainland cities. That means cities like Hobart, Newcastle, the Central Coast, Ballarat and Townsville will miss out on this new technology and increased broadband speeds. Could the minister please give me a reason and rationale for this?
