This exciting future is now Ballarat's present, while Geelong is increasingly left behind in the digital past.

Ms Henderson interjecting—

The truth is that when it comes to the NBN, as with so much else, the Prime Minister, the minister and indeed the member for Corangamite have abandoned Geelong.

This week marks the six-month anniversary of the Prime Minister's infamous statement that 'good government starts today'. The people of Geelong and most people in Corio still do not know when they will get the NBN as part of that good government, or the type of NBN they will get. Geelong must not be left behind when it comes to rolling out the NBN.

Ms Henderson interjecting—

An honourable member: A point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. The member for Corangamite will have an opportunity to respond in a moment. It is a three-minute constituency statement. There is not much time.
