I will ask the to address this in a moment, but I just remind the honourable member, my former sparring partner, that, since the election, the number of premises that are serviced by the NBN has increased tenfold. By the end of this financial year the NBN will have upgraded and have services available to one in four premises in Australia. By June 2018 it will be three in four premises in Australia. The changes to the rollout will see the project finished six to eight years sooner and at around $30 billion less cost. The honourable member's project was a failure. The coalition, this government, has rescued it. I ask the honourable minister.
