My question is to the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Conroy. Can the minister advise why fixed wireless towers for the delivery of NBN services are being erected in residential areas such as Buninyong in Victoria, which is approximately one hour from Melbourne, despite considerable community rejection, when the government's own media release yesterday stated that the same download speeds can be achieved from high-capacity satellites it will be using to provide NBN services to remote areas?
