Media Release.

This morning I made a major announcement about the National Broadband Network. We have updated the three-year plan and an extra 1.3 million Australian homes and businesses will have construction commenced or completed to connect to Labor’s NBN by mid-2016.

There’s been a lot of misinformation bandied around recently about the difference between Labor’s NBN and what the Coalition would do. We need you to share the facts.

You can help by clicking the image below and sharing the facts with your friends and family.

The Coalition’s broadband would be 40 times slower than Labor’s NBN and all Australians will get the NBN infrastructure for free under Labor. If you want to connect fibre to your home or business under the Coalition, you’ll have to pay up to $5,000 or be left disconnected from Labor’s NBN.

By the time a student in Year 7 today finishes high school, their household’s internet needs will have increased six times. We need Labor’s NBN to meet our needs now and into the future – help share the facts today to protect Labor’s NBN.
