The other issue, which I believe I raised with the Minister before and which I definitely raised with others, concerns the mobile phone and broadband task force, which falls between the Departments of the Environment, Climate and Communications and Rural and Community Development. Despite the best of intentions, several areas will not see broadband rolled out for some years. There may be interim solutions, some of which may involve engagement with providers, including those providing low-Earth-orbit satellite broadband. I suppose it is getting to a point whereby we can say to people that we intend to get to them in year four while also presenting them with the available alternatives. That task force may be the body capable of doing this work.
