Labor slows NBN rollout in Forde

Labor’s NBN policy will leave residents in Forde waiting longer and paying more for broadband.

“Under Labor’s NBN you’ll wait longer and pay more,” Bert van Manen said.

‘Labor’s NBN policy is to slow down to rollout in the majority of my electorate, including Chambers Flat, North Maclean, Park Ridge South, Park Ridge, Carbrook, Cornubia, Loganholme, Bethania, Buccan, Crestmead, Meadowbrook, Waterford, Upper Coomera, Boronia Heights, Beenleigh, Eagleby, Mount Warren Park, Bethania, Edens Landing, Logan Reserve, Loganlea, Marsden and Waterford West, because they will dig up everyone’s front garden and driveway – despite technologies being available that avoid this.

“Labor’s NBN policy means these locations could be waiting until 2022 to connect to the NBN.

“Under a Coalition Government they will have the NBN over the next two years,” Mr van Manen said.

“Monthly internet bills are also set to rise under Labor, because their policy costs $8 billion more than the Coalition’s.”

Mr van Manen said under the Coalition’s NBN plan, 80 per cent of the electorate would be connected to NBN by 2018, with the entire project completed by 2020.

Minister for Communications Mitch Fifield said Labor’s already tried and failed to deliver the NBN.

“Under the Coalition, the NBN is hooking up more than 60,000 homes a month, compared to just 51,000 connections in six years under Labor.

“Labor’s last gold plated approach would have added up to $43 a month to internet bills,” Minister Fifield said.

Under the Turnbull Coalition Team, the NBN is rolling out better broadband across Australia in the fastest and most affordable way.

Under the Coalition, the NBN has met every roll out target, it is ahead of schedule and on-budget.
