The minor party hopes the policy will benefit school students, carers, low-income families and the unemployed.Adam Bandt says Greens would 'make Clive Palmer' pay for your dental care, blasts media's 'gotcha' questions"During the last two years of lockdowns, some families had to park outside the local library to access free internet so their kids could do their school work," Mr Bandt said.
"At a time when more people are having to rely on the internet to work, study, socialise, shop, and pay their bills, Australia's digital divide is increasing." The free high-speed net would be free to anyone with a government healthcare card with about 1.5 million Australians expected to benefit.Labor promised last year to spend $2.4 billion on improving full-fibre NBN access for homes and businesses, with the full-fibre technology providing faster speeds.
The NBN has been wracked by concerns over whether it's actually delivering on high speeds, with the competition watchdog last year saying customers were getting lower-than-expected speeds due to the current copper network implemented by the coalition government.

The greens are at least some comic relief, probably find out that white males are ineligible for it.
FAKE PROMISE...

It must be great knowing you will only get 10% of the vote and therefore have no chance of having to honour any of your nutty promises

The greens believe in the money tree too.
Gimmicks. That's all the greens have. Oh, apart from dodgy gender politics.

Why not 15 millions All greens can do is creating chaos ?
The definition of low income is And really encourage the lazy to sit at home on their xboxes and play-stations and plan more protests rather than get a job greens must be desperate for votes
Bullshit green crap.
Internet should be free for everyone. It should be funded by tech companies that make billions off the internet like Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter,.... Etc
what do they consider as low income?
🫣
…to keep them busy browsing the internet 😀😀😀
why don’t we abolish money and have free everything🤔?
Do they have enough to form government 🤔
That'd only work if a) there actually was affordable housing for low income earners and b) wherever they can afford to live is actually connected to the nbn.. a lot of places still aren't connected.
Very confusing who the Greens are, they are not a environmental conservation movement ?
Thats a lot of porn...
Vote Green & everything will be free, But once they end mining & livestock farming Vegan Australia will not have any Royalties that finance Health & Education or any money from taxing billionaires because they will go offshore the minute mining ends ! Australia the new Venezuela.
The Greens aren’t really Greens anymore, they are WaterMelons Green on the outside, Red in the middle. The party has been taken over by the Communist’s. I used to vote green till this change happened a number of years ago. They used to try and hide it, but no longer.
I like how the Greens can just any nonsense they like and will never be in a position to act on it. 'The Greens have pledged a million billion dollars for every low income Australian' The ABC and the SBS report on this hot garbage.
Let's be clear it's not free, it is subsidised by the tax payer of Australia, that's not to say it's right or wrong, but it's definitely not free to provide a commercial service to 1.5m people. And what impact will this have on prices?
