I am aware that those opposite threw together a half-baked broadband plan 10 days before the election, but I do not know whether that policy stands anymore. On 14 September Mr Turnbull said that the coalition’s broadband policy would be reviewed. Six days later Mr Pyne agreed:

… you wouldn’t expect our policies in 2010 to be precisely the same in 2013.

But the very next day Tony Abbott said:

… having serious second thoughts about broadband policy is not a trap that this opposition is about to fall into.

Then, yesterday, the shadow Treasurer, Mr Hockey, agreed with Mr Abbott: ‘There’s no review of our broadband policy.’ So we have the Turnbull-Pyne broadband position from those opposite and we have the Abbott-Hockey broadband position from those opposite. (Time expired)
