Ripon electorate
Martha HAYLETT (Ripon) (14:43): (1271) My question is for the Minister for Government Services. Minister, how many new and upgraded mobile towers have now been delivered across Ripon as part of the Connecting Victoria program? Our Labor government is tackling mobile and internet black spots head on. After 10 years of neglect by the Liberals and Nationals in Canberra in fixing connectivity issues in the regions, we are getting on with it. We have just built new broadband towers in Maryborough East and West, Skipton and Lexton, and there are more to come, with projects in Clunes, Daisy Hill, Talbot and Waterloo to be completed next year. It is all part of Labor’s work to deliver more than 1300 mobile and broadband projects across the state, with over 900 of them in rural and regional Victoria. We are delivering real outcomes for Ripon and the regions, unlike those opposite.
