I thank the member for Dobell for her question. She represents an electorate that when the Labor Party left power had zero premises connected to the fibre network. In the electorate of Dobell today 57,898 premises are connected to the fixed network, connected to the NBN. The Labor Party, when they shuffled out of office with an ignominious a track record of rank incompetence when it comes to the NBN, had barely 50,000 premises connected to the fixed network. They had spent $6 billion. They had consistently missed their targets for the rollout. And we are now at a point where over six million premises are able to connect—35,000 premises connecting each week, and we are on track to have this rollout completed by 2020—
