In February 2014 I tabled your petition in Parliament. Over 270,000 Australians calling for the real NBN.

Unfortunately your calls to Malcolm Turnbull and the Liberal Government fell on deaf ears.

Malcolm Turnbull has made a mess of the NBN. In the last three years:

· the cost of his second rate NBN has doubled

· the time it will take to build has doubled, and

· Australia has dropped from 30th in the world for internet speeds to 60th.

Malcolm Turnbull promised he could build a second rate copper NBN for $29.5 billion. This has now blown out to up to $56 billion.

He also promised everyone in Australia would have access to the NBN this year. Currently less than 20 per cent of Australians have access to the NBN—a long way short of the 100 per cent he promised.

Worst of all, many Australians are getting a slower, second rate copper NBN that will not meet their needs into the future.

Malcolm Turnbull’s second rate NBN is holding Australia back. He is building a broadband network that won’t meet the needs of Australian businesses and families in the future.

That’s why Labor has just announced that if elected a Shorten Labor Government will rollout Fibre-to-the-Premises to up to two million additional Australian homes and businesses.

Only Labor is listening.

And only Labor will fix Malcolm Turnbull’s mess and build the NBN we need to create the jobs of the future.
