Conroy: Abbott calls the shots regarding Coalition and NBN

01.11.2012
Minister for Broadband, Communications, and the Digital Economy, Senator Stephen Conroy, has changed tack slightly and is now advising punters to ignore Shadow Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, and instead look to Tony Abbott to understand the Coalition's plans for broadband.

Conroy claims Abbott has no commitment to fast broadband and doesn't support Turnbull's stance regarding the National Broadband Network.

In his latest press release, Conroy also attacks Turnbull for his recent criticism of the NBN Co board and management.

"Over the last 10 months, the Opposition Spokesman, Mr Turnbull, has delivered 20 speeches, issued 36 media releases, and sent 1,341 tweets, but still has not released a broadband policy," Conroy said.

"This month he stopped talking about any Coalition plan and instead devoted himself to denigrating the professionalism of the NBN Co Board and management.
