Malcolm Turnbull has said marginal seatswill not be part of the equation during any
revised rollout of the National Broadband
Network (NBN) across Australia .
Turnbull, the communications minister, said
a survey was under way to identify parts of
Australia with the worst broadband.
"[Places] where the need for upgrade is
greatest, they will be prioritised," Turnbull
said.
Another priority would be areas where
demand for high speed internet was
greatest, such as business and industrial
parks, he said.
"The NBN Co has to start being operated ...
like a rational business that seeks to do its
job as quickly and cost-effectively as
possible."
Turnbull declined to comment on whether
there had been legal claims lodged over
asbestos scares at NBN construction sites.
The prime minister, Tony Abbott, has ruled
out overturning a ban on the Chinese
telecommunications company Huawei
tendering for work on the NBN.
Turnbull said the decision was a question
of "managing risk".
"Other companies and other countries have
taken different judgments," he said.
He admitted that Huawei had in the past
undercut the prices of western suppliers
but stopped short of saying it would be
cheaper to build the NBN with Huawei's
involvement.
Turnbull said Vodafone and Optus used
Huawei equipment in their Australian
networks and they would attest that it
worked properly and was cheaper. "These
are things you've got to weigh up," he said.
