Labor is opposing the Greens political party's amendments. We won't be supporting them. There are no doubt shortcomings and issues with the design of the levy. These issues have been identified by the ACCC and the Productivity Commission. However, to oppose the levy outright would undermine the economics of the NBN, and this is not something Labor is prepared to do.
