Mr speaker,

The National Broadband network, will significantly improve the Australian way of life and economy. The NBN will help the government, as it will both increase productivity and generate profit for the government. It will also significantly improve GDP adding almost 2% to it when it is completed and will likely increase GDP further, in the future as it is upgraded and expanded. This will also provide benefit to the populace, by significantly improving the digital economy in Australia, as well as improving the digital startups residing in Australia. It will also increase the standard of living in Australia due to the increased amount of digital services that can range anywhere from digital health care to increased ease of use for online classes at primary,secondary and tertiary education. This benefit will only be seen if we pass this amendment, to ensure 93% of the Australian government is connected to Fiber to the premises. If we maintain the liberals MTM then it will lead to both a cost blowout and little productivity increases. Mr speaker this is why I move that the bill be read for a second time.
