As those listening to this broadcast will know, the Labor Party has a long record of seminal neglect in looking after rural and regional Australia. It will not stand up for rural and regional Australians, whether it is delivering them broadband or delivering them mobile phones. We all know that the Labor Party is hand in glove with Telstra. It will ride roughshod over consumers in rural and regional Australia and it will continue this neglect as long as it suits its interests, which is so long as the Labor Party is in cahoots with Telstra.
