Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Didn’t the government say its plan was a comprehensive and complete broadband solution for Australia? If the plan really is comprehensive and complete, why aren’t Tasmanians—including those living in our two largest cities of Launceston, Senator Colbeck, and Hobart, Senator Abetz—getting first-class fibre-optic broadband? Why aren’t Tasmanians entitled to the same level of service as Australians living in the five mainland capital cities?
