Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 428 asked in the Legislative Council on 5 August 2021 by Hon Wilson Tucker

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

DIGITAL CONNECTIVITY — REMOTE ABORIGINAL COMMUNITIES

428. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Innovation and ICT:

I refer the minister to the Household use of information technology report produced by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. I note that the survey excludes households in the Indigenous community strata.

(1) Does the state government collect data on internet connectivity in remote Indigenous communities?

(2) If no to (1), why not?

(3) If yes to (1), can the minister please table the available data?

Hon KYLE McGINN replied:

I thank the member for some notice of the question. The following answer has been provided to me by the Minister for Innovation and ICT.

(1) No.

(2) Internet connectivity is delivered by the telecommunications sector and as such falls under the regulation of the commonwealth government.

(3) Not applicable.
