NBN Co. fibre to the premise will be provided to every town with over 1,000 premises, as well as to those with over 500 premises which have available fibre backhaul. Mr Turnbull and his colleagues continue to mislead the Australian public about their plans for regional Australia. This month, Mr Turnbull told ABC Radio in Victoria that under the coalition plan many country towns with less than 1,000 premises will get a fixed line broadband service. Mr Turnbull's policy states that the number of premises covered by fixed wireless and satellite is exactly the same as Labor's. There are no additional towns to receive a fixed line broadband under their plan. Mr Turnbull is once again misleading the Australian public. (Time expired)
