My question is to the Minister for Communications. Before the 3G shutdown, regional communities in my electorate were told that no-one would be worse off, but, since the final shutdown, my constituents have experienced worse connectivity, completely losing the ability to make calls in some areas, and have been told to spend their own money on aftermarket antennas. Does the minister recognise that some people are worse off after the 3G shutdown, and what will the government do to fix it?
