In question time today, the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, representing the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, read from the front page of my newsletter outlining how suburbs in my electorate had missed out on the National Broadband Network. In doing so, the minister went on to assert that this somehow implied an endorsement of government policy, when I am on the record on many occasions criticising the National Broadband Network, and this newsletter was a stunning criticism of government policy: spending $37 billion and missing every suburb in my electorate.
