My question is to the Prime Minister. In regional areas when we have a bushfire, our power is often cut. No power in a few hours means no mobile phone network. There is no legislative requirement for telcos to provide extended battery backup in mobile towers. Does the Prime Minister agree that high-risk bushfire areas need such protection? And if so, what will the government do to help keep our regional communities' telecommunications safe?
