‘So important’ to keep NBN in public ownership: Finance Minister

Finance Minister Katy Gallagher says keeping the National Broadband Network in public ownership is “so important”. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced a funding commitment of $3 billion to the National Broadband Network. “It’s an important part of our economic infrastructure; it’s an important productivity piece to drive access for households,” Ms Gallagher said at a media conference on Monday. “Finishing this job is so important, as is keeping it in public ownership.”
