Written answers

Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment

As I informed the House on 18 September my Department received the Final Tender submission from the bidder in the National Broadband Plan State led intervention procurement process on that date. Since receipt of that Final Tender on September 18 no further bids or expressions of interest have been received and I have had no engagement with the bidder.
