My question is to Senator Coonan, the Minister for Communications, Information Technology and the Arts. Can the minister explain which of her confusing and contradictory claims about her second-rate wireless broadband package is her current policy? Is it Monday’s claim that the network would deliver up to 12 megabits per second for 99 per cent of Australia, or Tuesday morning’s claim that the network would deliver a minimum of 12 megabits per second for 99 per cent of Australia, or Tuesday afternoon’s claim that the network would deliver a minimum of 12 megabits per second for 100 per cent of Australia? Why can’t the minister get her story straight, and what grandiose claim will the minister make today about what her second-rate broadband package will deliver?
