What a risible performance from a risible minister. He talks about the track record of delivery of the coalition government on the NBN. There has been no delivery that is worth speaking of other than wrecking a national infrastructure project that was visionary in its concept and that was well on its way to servicing this country in the way this country needed for the future. It started from nothing. You build nothing. All you can do is wreck. All you do is wreck. Labor builds; Liberals wreck.

Look at the history of delivery. Labor created Medicare. Labor brought in the age pension. Labor brought in the minimum wage. So don't sit there, Minister, and tell us Labor has no history of delivery. It is Labor that builds the great programs that this country depends on.
