The Australia Labor Party (ALP) has pledged to bring high-speed internet to 1.5 million additional homes and businesses through an upgrade of the National Broadband Network (NBN).
The project will cost $2.4 billion dollars and accelerate ongoing NBN upgrades, giving Australians who now rely on copper wire connections the choice of having fibre connected directly into their homes if they want faster speeds. Labor has also said it would create 12,000 jobs.
