My question is to the Prime Minister. The member for Warringah once famously ordered the now Prime Minister to demolish the NBN. Given that the Prime Minister's second-rate NBN is plagued by cost blowouts and problems with speed and reliability and is subject to a record number of complaints from Australians, can the Prime Minister now proudly declare to the member for Warringah 'mission accomplished'?

It is worth reminding the House that carriage of the NBN in the disastrous final days of the Rudd government, the downfall phase of the Rudd government, briefly passed from 'the land of Conrovia' to 'the land of Albonia'. The record that the shadow minister has to offer when it comes to NBN is atrocious. It is a very clear comparison. We're delivering, we're getting on with the job, we're on track to getting this done by 2020. This lot has a hopeless record. You can't believe them. You can't trust them.

Mr Speaker, I seek leave to table a document headed 'Tony Abbott wanted the NBN destroyed and the coalition might now pay for the debacle'.

Leave not granted.
