I thank the member for Braddon. For the benefit of all members, I note that this petition has been received and approved by the Petitions Committee.

The petition read as follows—

To the Honourable the Speaker and the Members of the House of Representatives

This Petition of residents and visitors of Sulphur Creek on the North-West Coast of Tasmania draws to the attention of the House, the lack of mobile phone coverage at Sulphur Creek and the difficulty this causes residents and business owners.

We therefore ask the House to consider allocating finding under the next round of Liberal Coalition's Mobile Phone Black Spot funding programme to the Heybridge, Preservation Bay and Sulphur Creek community to ensure all residents and visitors have access to essential Services.

from 78 citizens

Petition received.
