All of our policies are delivering even better outcomes for people out in the regions, in communications in particular. We have worked even harder over the last year to fix the NBN mess left to us by the previous, Labor, government. We have doubled the capacity of the satellite service by bringing the second Sky Muster satellite into use. I note that those opposite were going to leave the second satellite just bobbing around up there as backup if they might need it. We actually decided to utilise it so we could deliver a better service to the Australian people through the NBN. We have expanded the fixed wireless footprint. Sky Muster has stabilised with 90 per cent fewer outages than last year. That fixed wireless rollout will be completed by the end of 2018. It is the coalition that is continuing to deliver for the regions, and it is those on this side that are going to provide a brighter and stronger future for regional Australia.
