I move:

That this House:

(1)notes that:

(a)after six years of the previous Labor Government, just 51,000 users were connected to the National Broadband Network (NBN);

(b)under the Liberal National Coalition Government, over 60,000 premises are being connected to the NBN every two weeks; and

(c)the network roll out is scheduled to be completed in 2020;

(2)welcomes NBN Co's announcement that the NBN is now available to more than 10 million homes and businesses; and

(3)congratulates the Government for adopting a broadband roll out plan which will see the NBN completed four years early and for $30 billion less than had Labor's approach been continued—meaning that Australians will get access to fast broadband services more quickly, and at lower prices, than what would have occurred under Labor's plan.
