In December 2024 ACCAN provided a submission to the Senate Environment and Communications Legislation Committee concerning the National Broadband Network Companies Amendment (Commitment to Public Ownership) Bill 2024 [Provisions].

ACCAN strongly supports the initiative by the Australian Government to ensure that the National Broadband Network remains in public ownership. As a monopoly infrastructure service provider supplying essential communications services, and the Statutory Infrastructure Provider for the vast majority of Australian households, it is essential that NBN remains effectively regulated in the long-term interest of end-users.

Retaining NBN in public hands will contribute to better governance and support the Australian Government in achieving its policy outcomes.
