My question is to the Minister for Communications, Cyber Safety and the Arts. By November 2019, NBN had assigned satellite NBN to 2,379 premises within 25 kilometres of the Adelaide GPO. Sydney has just 139 within the same distance. Now NBN has assigned satellite NBN to 495 residents in my community of Mylor, just 20 kilometres from the CBD as the crow flies. Why has the government assigned technology that was designed for remote Australia to these nearly 3,000 properties, and will you review the decision with respect to Mylor that has so angered my community?
