I do thank the member for her question in relation to the Mobile Black Spot Program. Some $380 million has been committed, generating a total investment of more than $836 million, which has funded a total of up to 1,229 mobile base stations across Australia. I can further report that, as at 30 September 2020, 879 of those base stations have been activated, and more continue to be activated all the time.

What's important for the House to realise when getting a full appreciation of this context is: what was the starting point? What was the starting point? How many dollars did the Labor Party commit to mobile black spots?

Mr McCormack interjecting
