With the result of the election on November 24, I was sworn in as the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy on 3 December 2007.
It has been an exceptionally busy time as we take briefings from the Department and various agencies, move offices and roll up our sleeves to implement our election policies.
First up is the high speed national broadband network to deliver a minimum of 12 Mbps to 98% of Australians and improved services to all Australians.
Thank you for all your messages of support and congratulations.
We will be working hard to govern in the interests of all Australians.
