I know the Minister is also involved in the roll-out of broadband. Today is not the day for that topic. However, I recommend rolling out broadband before there are any big changes to rural life. People who now may not be able to access a post office cannot get anything online either. It is six of one and a half a dozen of the other. Before any big changes are made to rural living, the Minister should ensure that broadband is rolled out.

The Minister mentioned in his opening statement that the Kerr report has nearly been implemented.
