Anthony Albanese accuses Coalition of wanting to ‘sell off’ National Broadband Network

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has accused the Coalition of “wanting to sell off” the National Broadband Network during Question Time on Wednesday. It comes as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Wednesday promised to keep the NBN publicly owned to ensure high-speed broadband remains affordable for all Australians. “We have introduced legislation into the House today that safeguards the future of the NBN, making sure it can’t be privatised, sold off or hollowed out, because there has never been a public service or asset that the Liberal Party didn’t want to carve up and sell off,” Mr Albanese said. “That is what they do.”
