The Independent Member for Denison, Andrew Wilkie, will ask the Prime Minister the following in Question Time today.
“Prime Minister the NBN rollout is supposedly nearly complete in Tasmania.
“But subcontractors in my electorate tell me the copper network, which is integral to your Government’s model, is in dire need of improvement. So why has the copper network improvement program stalled in Tassie?
“Moreover why is it that a constituent, who runs his business from his home in Fern Tree, still can’t connect to the NBN even though he’s only 60 metres from a node?
“And why are small business owners in urban areas like Moonah being quoted 5, 10 or even $20,000 to upgrade from fibre-to-the-node to fibre-to-the-premises when NBN infrastructure’s already nearby?”
WHEN: Approximately 2:15pm TODAY 27 February
WHERE: House of Representatives ( watch live at https://www.aph.gov.au/News_and_Events/Watch_Parliament )
