NBN Day of Action.

Media Release.   Tuesday, 26 November 2013 12:25

People across the country, including in Cairns and Townsville, are today stepping up to demand a fibre-to-the-premises National Broadband Network (NBN), delivering a petition to their local MPs doorstep. Queensland Labor Senator Jan McLucas said the people of North Queensland deserve fast, affordable and reliable broadband. "Fast, reliable and affordable broadband is critical for our future," Senator McLucas said. "We all know the benefits it will bring to our economy, to schools and to our health system, especially in regional and remote communities, but the Abbott Government is ignoring the opportunities and is intent on leaving us with a second rate network. "The National Day of Action is highlighting to the Abbott Government that people across the country want fibre-to-the-premises NBN. "The Abbott Government's plan will mean people will be left using outdated copper or will have to pay up to $5,000 to have fibre connected to their home or business."
