Go to Hallett Cove, Senator Birmingham. Wander down to Hallett Cove and explain to them that, after 11½ years, you could not deliver broadband to Hallett Cove. Go and explain to them why. Thirty-three per cent of Adelaide’s population has broadband. The good news, Senator Parry, from Tasmania, is that you not only have the worst capital city broadband in Australia; you also have the most expensive. Thirty-two per cent of Hobart’s population—that is all; just 32 per cent—have broadband.
