Malcolm Turnbull (Wentworth, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Communications and Broadband) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer her to Senator Xenophon’s statement an hour ago where he says:

The government has backed down and agreed to release a summary of the NBN business case and to have the Productivity Commission advise a joint committee on as yet unspecified aspects of the NBN rollout.

In the light of that backdown, why won’t she agree to ask the Productivity Commission to advise on the fundamental question which is whether the $43 billion NBN is the most cost-effective way of delivering affordable broadband to all Australians?
