I thank the honourable member for her question. The honourable member will recall that, at the time we inherited the NBN from her government, only 51,000 premises had been activated in six years of Labor government. In the last four weeks, nearly 90,000 premises were activated. We are activating nearly twice as many premises every four weeks as the Labor Party did in its entire six-year term in government. That is the difference. We are getting on with the job and we are building the NBN. There are 3½ million premises that can get it now, and about 1½ million—or somewhat more, in fact—are actually connected and activated. It is meeting its targets and it is beating them. But the Labor Party is relentless in its desire to mislead and spread falsehoods about the NBN.
