Dear
Resident of the Berowra Electorate,
I
hope you are keeping well and are looking forward to the
let up from lockdown next week.
As you
may know, last week I published an exposure draft
of a Private Members Bill which will see
telecommunication companies made accountable for poor
service.
This Bill is the next step in my
campaign for better telecommunications for our
community.
We, in Berowra, are not alone
in wanting to see better telecommunications. Across the
country, 17 government MPs from all around Australia are
supporting the Bill following years of inaction by
telcos in our communities.
I am seeking
submissions on the exposure draft and would welcome
comments about experiences with telecommunications
in our area. You can read the bill or make a
submission by going to www.telcoreform.com.au
I will continue to fight for better mobile
and internet service in our
electorate.
Although not government
policy, I hope measures in this Bill will build on the
work of the Coalition in delivering the Mobile Black
Spot Program and the recently announced Peri-Urban
Mobile Program which has improved telecommunications in
many communities around Australia.
This
newsletter includes more detailed information about the
Bill, and some of the national media generated by
the announcement.
If you have any question
please feel free to contact me at Julian.leeser.mp@aph.gov.au or
(02) 9980 1822.
Kind regards, Julian
