The electronic version of the Australian today quotes Senator Conroy, the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy as saying that I had sought advice as to why towns in my electorate are receiving a state-of-the-art, next-generation satellite broadcast service rather than fibre optic cable to their home. He goes on further to cite this as support of the government's NBN network. In fact, it is not. I wrote to the minister drawing his attention to the fact that Streaky Bay has a population of over 1,000 and is over the criteria proclaimed by the government. It is another failed Labor promise.
