My question is to the Minister for Communications, Senator Fifield. In this place on 22 February this year the minister said that the rollout of the Prime Minister's copper NBN was 'accelerating'. But NBN documents dated 19 February 2016 reveal that the Prime Minister's copper NBN is in crisis and that nbn co has failed to meet even a third of its internal rollout target. Was the minister informed that the NBN rollout was behind schedule before or after he made his statement?
