GAI Brodtmann says the NBN is rolling out slower than Malcolm Turnbull promised, and it is more expensive than he promised.

“Malcolm Turnbull also promised that parts of Australia which had poor internet access would get the NBN first, yet suburbs like Monash and Theodore, which have the lowest rating in the country for both availability and quality of broadband, are still not on the rollout map,” Gai said.

“Our community is now paying the price for this broken promise – Canberrans are missing out on the many opportunities provided by the NBN, like being able to work and study from home.

“I have launched a petition to have Canberra’s broadband black spots prioritised, which has already collected hundreds of signatures.

“When it comes to the NBN, under the Abbott Government all Australians will now pay much, much more for much, much less.”
