I would be delighted to continue sharing this great news story for Australians. The NBN is now available to more than 10 million homes and businesses. It now has 5.6 million active connections. Our NBN is connecting more users every two weeks than Labor connected in six years. We are connecting more every fortnight than Labor did in six years. Over 60,000 premises per fortnight are being connected, compared to 51,000 under the entire six years of the Labor government—51,000 premises in six years, and 60,000 premises every two weeks under us. Soon all Australians will be able to connect. We are rolling out a multi-technology mix, just like the United States, the UK, Germany, France and many other countries.
