Australians deserve communications and digital services that are affordable, reliable, and deliver on their promises. Rising costs, a lack of transparency, and inadequate consumer protections are leaving many behind. We're campaigning for a fairer communications market, where everyone can afford to stay connected and digital platforms are held accountable. It's time for real action to ensure access to essential communication services isn't a privilege, but a right.
