Broadband

Let me again remind those opposite that when they were in government their broadband process did not include a mechanism to ensure that proponents had access to crucial network information. The expert taskforce guidelines published by those opposite for their charade of a process said:

... on the basis of clearly articulated assumptions and/or information that is public, commercially available or otherwise available to them.

In other words, they expected proponents to guess what was needed to build a broadband network. They actually had to guess. This just shows the lack of understanding of those opposite in their pathetic attempts on their 18th broadband plan— (Time expired)
