Thank you—I will take that interjection; thank you very much. Yes, we work hard but of course we would not have been able to do this without the Prime Minister, the current minister and the nbn staff. The people who work for the nbn are hard at work, rolling out the NBN through my electorate in Redcliffe, the Brisbane City Council area and North Lakes—I spoke about North Lakes earlier. It is a priority area and, if you missed it before, it will start being rolled out there in July 2016—some 5,020 premises, along with the Moreton Bay Rail Link—that is exactly right: we are fighting hard.

I want to thank everyone again—thank the nbn staff for what they are doing. I thank the minister and I look forward to better internet connections for the entire federal seat of Petrie some six years earlier than promised under Labor and some two years earlier than the rest of the country. Thank you.
