My question is to the Prime Minister. Does the Prime Minister agree with statements made by Liberal Senator Judith Adams when she said, ‘People in rural areas cannot expect proper telecommunications services,’ and: ‘As far as I am concerned, it is a little bit like medical services. You can’t expect to have proper services out in the bush. It’s just not like that’? Prime Minister, why should country people accept second-class services? Why can’t people in rural areas expect proper telecommunications services in line with their city cousins?
