My question is to the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Conroy. I remind the minister that former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd promised in 2007 that all one million laptop computers in secondary schools, that were promised by Labor, would be connected to fast, up to 100 megabytes per second fibre. Will the minister confirm that as at February this year only 12 of some 2,650 Australian secondary schools have been connected to the NBN?
