- Description
'The Politician' cartoon strip. The minister will be able to defend himself in front of the select committee because he has a black belt in verbal judo.
A notice on a wall reads 'Coming soon to Hamilton ultra fast broadband'; a woman walking past says to her companion that she thinks they should slow down in a built up area. Context; Steven Joyce, Minister for Communications and Information Technology, revealed that Crown Fibre Holdings had concluded negotiations with two key partners - Northpower Limited and Ultra Fast Fibre Limited, owned by WEL Networks - and that rollout of fibre in Hamilton, Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Tauranga, New Plymouth, Wanganui, Hawera, Tokoroa and Whangarei would get underway shortly. Mayor Julie Hardaker says Hamilton will benefit significantly from the UFB rollout. 'Not only will access to ultra-fast broadband have tremendous benefits for our schools, hospitals, businesses and homes but the rollout itself is expected to generate hundreds of new jobs for our region and WEL Networks which is great'.
