We don't get the Mobile Black Spot Program, thanks very much! And we've never had money in Brand. Luckily for you Nationals, you get your pork-barrelling money—

Mr Littleproud interjecting—

You do, don't you. You can just be quiet and take your money while my community has no mobile coverage—so good on you!

No new ports are available. These people don't have the internet, they don't have ADSL, they don't have the NBN and they don't have mobile phone coverage. It's a disgrace! I'm really glad one of the Nationals can joke about this!

Mr Littleproud interjecting—

It sounds like you are. In my community this is an important matter. People are disappointed. They are angry. We don't have to stoke their anger at this government and its substandard NBN. The member for Greenway will back me up on this: we just have to listen to them. The Prime Minister should come and visit us. I don't know the last time a Liberal Prime Minister walked down to Rockingham. I have never seen one and never heard of one. I barely see a Liberal there. I don't know who is running against me next time, but they won't have much luck. Anyway, come and have a chat and try to fix your NBN.
