Yesterday in the other place the member for Mitchell complained that the NBN rollout is missing every suburb in his electorate—every suburb. He also put out a newsletter with the headline 'Mitchell misses out on the NBN'. Well, it is not just hypocritical; he is wrong. In the three-year rollout plan there are more than 15,000 homes and businesses in the suburbs around Castle Hill, in the member for Mitchell's electorate, with work to begin in late 2013. So let me again be clear: nobody in Australia will miss out on the National Broadband Network. It will reach every, single home, school, business and hospital in every electorate across Australia.
