I was very pleased recently to be in regional Western Australia to launch the first NBN fixed wireless services in Geraldton. This means cheaper prices for better broadband. The Wyatt family were the first customers in Western Australia to be connected to the fixed wireless service in NBN using an iiNet service. This is what Mrs Wyatt said of her new NBN service: 'We are paying a lot less to get a faster and better service. It's just wonderful.'

From Cairns to Coolangatta, from the Gold Coast to Geraldton, people will pay the same for NBN services as those living in the cities. Only one party in this chamber is guaranteeing equal services and equal prices for broadband for people living in regional Australia. (Time expired)
