I say to Senator Wortley: if you are going to ask technical questions, try to get them right. It is actually ADSL2+, not ADSL+. When we are looking at Labor’s broadband plan, we see that Labor falls at the first fence. Mr Rudd says that policy should be evidence based, and Labor does not have the courage, does not have the policy bottle, to do the hard yards. It just hides behind Telstra. Come out. Show us your plan; show us your maps. Then, as another person says, we can have a real conversation.
