Senator FIFIELD (Victoria—Minister for Communications, Minister for the Arts and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:35): The NBN, according to its last corporate plan, has a funding range and is on track for repeat funding of $49 billion. I reiterate that that is $30 billion less than would have been the case under the approach of those opposite. I also indicate to colleagues that, if an extra $30 billion had been spent, internet bills for Australian households would, on average, be $500 a year more. A government senator: How much? Senator FIFIELD: The internet bill for your average Australian household would be $500 a year more if the approach of those opposite, which would have seen the NBN cost $30 billion more, had been continued with. The PRESIDENT: Senator O'Neill, a final supplementary question.
