My father lives on a farm in Beerburrum, a small community in Queensland, Australia, and every time I try to reach him by phone, our conversation is cut short because of poor reception. This challenge is not just personal to me; countless residents in Beerburrum and nearby Wildhorse Mountain face the same issue, making it difficult for families and friends to stay connected.

In today’s fast-paced world, where communication is paramount, the lack of adequate phone reception in these areas is more than an inconvenience — it's a barrier to connection and community. It’s heartbreaking to have fleeting conversations with loved ones when we yearn to see their faces and hear their voices clearly. Families shouldn’t have to experience this disconnect, especially when technology has advanced so much in other parts of the world.

Statistics show that rural and remote areas often experience slower technological advancements in infrastructure compared to urban areas. In a 2020 report, less than 80% of rural locations in Australia had reliable mobile coverage, according to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). This digital divide leaves communities like Beerburrum and Wildhorse Mountain with reduced access and fewer opportunities for seamless communication.

Concrete action is needed from the Queensland government to invest in telecommunications infrastructure that enhances the phone reception in these remote areas. This could include erecting additional mobile towers or deploying innovative solutions like satellite reception that have already proven effective in other remote communities. By doing so, we can ensure that no one is left isolated due to lack of coverage, and people like my father can remain within reach of their family members.

I call upon the Queensland government to prioritize this need. Improving reception in regions like Beerburrum and Wildhorse Mountain will not only restore connections but also improve the quality of life for those who reside there. Let’s bridge the gap of digital disparity and make sure that no one has to lose sight of the ones they love.

Sign this petition to urge the Queensland government to take immediate action to improve mobile reception in Beerburrum, Wildhorse Mountain, and other similar areas. It’s time for all Australians to have equal access to reliable communication.
