Malcolm Turnbull (Wentworth, Liberal Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

I can assure the honourable member for Blaxland that I have on several occasions complained very publicly and openly about the ABC's coverage of the NBN issue, in particular and most notably in the lead-up to the last election where I felt the ABC's coverage of the issue was very poor and lacked balance. I said so publicly, and I have said nothing privately that I have not said publicly. My point very simply was this: as we know, in the lead-up to the last election there was a debate—a discussion, if you like—about competing technologies and the proposition that the Labor government presented was that the only acceptable solution was to have a universal fibre to the premises network, which was their plan.

Ms Rishworth interjecting—
