I second this motion, as this bill supports the people who live in regional and rural areas who have access to very poor internet and mobile phone coverage. This is a huge concern in my electorate. I totally support the words of the member for Denison. I thank him for bringing this to the attention of the parliament and I look forward to working with the government to progress this issue. It is causing huge concern, particularly for older people who not only do not have internet access but find it extraordinarily hard to manage online services. I thank the member for Denison. I am very happy to second the motion.
