Mr TURNBULL (Wentworth—Minister for Communications) (14:31): I thank the honourable member for her question, and I note her passion and strong advocacy for ensuring her community has access to very fast broadband. She is quite right: the biggest barrier to broadband is not technology, it is affordability. Australians on the lowest incomes have the lowest rate of internet usage in their households. Of course, under Labor's NBN plan—and this is their plan, not ours—average revenue per user was going to treble from 2012 to 2021. So they were going to spend tens of billions of dollars on broadband and make it less affordable for Australians, not more affordable. But of course the truth is that there was a lot about the NBN that the Labor government knew that it did not share with the Australian people. The former minister, the member for Grayndler, was well aware from the NBN Co. itself that it was not going to hit its targets for 30 June 2014. He refused to release the reports and indications that showed it was going to miss that target by 70 per cent. He then— Mr Albanese: Madam Speaker I rise on a point of order. I would ask the minister to table the alleged report he is referring to. The SPEAKER: Order! That is not a point of order. There is no point of order. Mr TURNBULL: The honourable member would be well aware that it was tabled, actually, in the Australian Financial Review, so it is hardly a secret! But yet, there is more—there is a great deal more. On the weekend we learnt that the Labor government had been advised by its investment banker, Lazard, that the NBN, on the government's plan, was going to result in a $31 billion loss—a negative net present value. And they did not share that with anyone. The NBN has been the characteristically reckless Labor undertaking from the very start—from the moment it was conceived by Senator Conroy and Kevin Rudd on the back of a beer coaster on a VIP flight. And that beer coaster should be elevated. It should be an exhibit in Labor's pool room of horrors, it really should. Honourable members interjecting— Mr TURNBULL: No! It should be there with other historic artefacts, such as the fridge at the Lodge on which Prime Minister Gough Whitlam approved the Khemlani loans arrangements, to bypass the loans council. And, of course, the Labor pool room of horrors should not be without the lazy Susan from the Hong Ho Vietnamese restaurant where the Leader of the Opposition plotted the downfall of Kevin Rudd!
