ALP candidate for Wide Bay
Lucy Stanton<\/figcaption><\/figure>June 17, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

ALP Wide Bay candidate Lucy Stanton says that when Murgon and Goomeri residents vote at the upcoming Federal Election, they’ll actually be voting on their digital futures.<\/p>\n

She said the NBN rollout across much of Wide Bay was scheduled to begin next year.<\/p>\n

Ms Stanton said the Labor Party had pledged to kill off the “mongrel” fibre-to-the-node NBN model (a mix of fibre optic cable and copper) and instead roll out a fibre optic-only solution.<\/p>\n

“You should not have to live in Brisbane to have an exciting job in the future and have on offer all the possibilities that a digital future holds,” Ms Stanton said.<\/p>\n

“But this can only really happen if the NBN rollout of internet access in Wide Bay uses the best option.<\/p>\n

“We cannot afford to make the mistake of getting stuck with Turnbull’s copper NBN that means our region gets left behind. <\/p>\n

“This issue matters and we have reached a point in time where the people of Murgon and Goomeri have a choice to make. <\/p>\n

“The rollout to towns happens after the election, so we are all voting on what technology gets installed.<\/p>\n

“The reality is that jobs into the future will require participation in the digital economy.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
