Labor will keep the State Government to its word that the NBN roll out will deliver fibre to the premises for 80 per cent of Tasmanians, according to Shadow Minsiter for Technology, Communications and Innovation, Madeleine Ogilvie.
“This was a commitment made by Michael Ferguson during Budget Estimates hearings and we intend to ensure the Government sticks to it,” Ms Ogilvie said.
“It is disappointing the NBN roll out has been delayed to businesses and residential areas despite pre-election promises from both Federal and State Liberal governments, but Mr Ferguson’s commitment is now on the public record.
“I am delighted Mr Ferguson has pledged 80 per cent fibre to the premises because that is what Tasmanian homes and businesses need.
“I will be doing everything in my power to work with the Government to ensure it delivers on this promise.”
