Mr President, I have a supplementary question. Does the minister concede that this is not simply an issue of tower siting but a method of broadband delivery and community consultation? Local Ballarat resident Mr Cartledge is quoted as saying:

The consensus from day one is that we've never been against the technology but rather the process and dictatorship from Canberra.

How can communities have confidence in this government and the NBN Co. that there will be genuine consultation on the rollout of the National Broadband Network?
