Clyde North telephone reception
Mr BATTIN (Gembrook) (12:38): First I want to rise in relation to the issue of phone reception through Clyde North. This is something I have raised in this Parliament before, and it is becoming a bigger and bigger issue throughout the community, who continue to come to my office and talk about the fact of phone reception that they cannot get. We have heard from the government that it is obviously a federal fault, we have heard from Telstra that it is somebody else’s fault and now we see the state government funding other areas. All they are saying in our area is, ‘We want to be treated fairly’, so the young people who are using it particularly for home education can have the reception they need.
