Senator CONROY (Victoria—Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on Digital Productivity) (14:44): Mr President, as I was saying, fibre construction is up and away in over 65 locations Australia wide, and you can expect to see more and more green fibre in the streets of your cities and suburbs. The member for Wentworth has claimed the cost of building the NBN is much dearer than comparable networks—and we have had the $50 billion, the $70 billion and the $100 billion. Last month the NBN Co. provided the Joint Committee on the NBN with details of the cost of a fibre access network for the premises to be passed this year. What did it show? What it showed was how, through the experience of building the NBN, it is bringing the cost of the local component per premise to between $1,200 and $1,500 per premise. (Time expired) Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Order on my left! I remind honourable senators on both sides that this is not the time to debate. Order!
