A statement released by the office of Senator Stephen Conroy, Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, explains that NBN champions are professionals at the top of their fields. Mr Innes is joined by industry leaders from medicine, education and e-commerce.
“The NBN will provide Australians living with a disability with new opportunities to connect to the community, break down old barriers and to participate in ways they never have,” said Senator Conroy.
Mr Innes said, “The NBN is a game-changer for the quality of everyday life for people with a disability and more so for those of us geographically and socially isolated.”
Just what the NBN holds for Australians with disabilities is discussed in an interview with our Research and Policy Coordinator, Mathew Gilliland.
