My question is to the Prime Minister. Does the Prime Minister agree with the findings from the government’s own Broadband Advisory Group that:

... next generation broadband could produce economic benefits of $12-30 billion per annum to Australia.

Prime Minister, given that high-speed broadband is needed to lift Australia’s productivity and economic growth beyond the mining boom, why has the government failed after so many years to deliver an effective national broadband network?
