Minister, over the past few months, I have been working closely with NBN representatives, namely Peter Gurney and Hayley Connelly, in my electorate, in terms of the implementation of the NBN in Solomon. We have run a number of info sessions and forums, and they have been very well received. As you know, Minister, I have a very young demographic in Solomon, and the feedback from my electorate has largely been positive around the NBN rollout. We know that the NBN is amazing for business opportunities; however, I am getting a lot of feedback from my electorate in terms of its entertainment potential, and I guess this is around the young people. The other query that I am getting from the young people is: 'When are we going to get NBN? Because we're really, really excited.' So the question for you is: would you be able to provide an update on the rollout of the NBN in Solomon, particularly in Darwin and Palmerston, with expected completion dates, so that we can give that information back to the very excited people in my electorate?
