Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I further draw the minister’s attention to Mr Rudd’s 2007 policy speech where he stated:

I announce today that if elected we will connect Australia’s more than 9,000 primary and secondary schools to our National Broadband Network—at speeds of up to 100 megabits per second.

Will the minister confirm that two years later not a single classroom has been connected to Labor’s promised 100 megabits per second internet service and that this is yet another broken election promise?
