Dear Mr. Bill Morrow,

This petition is from all Australians that we DO want super-fast broadband and WOULD use it “even if we offered it for free”. We are not saying that we do want it for free, but we wish for our current government to deliver an NBN which connects all Australians and makes us a stronger competitor on the global market.

This petition is in reaction to your comments made on the 8th of February, 2017 and despite your work since joining the NBN board for a few years now, you have failed to deliver on your work and promises. Despite promising download speeds of up to one gigabit per second on the NBN since 2013, you yourself confirmed no NBN provider currently offered the high-speed plans to consumers or businesses.

This is a petition for you to either step down Mr. Morrow and have someone who believes in the future and digital economy of Australia take on the challenge or simply deliver what you and the NBN organisation have promised. This is not about politics or the way our country is being run, this is about the future of Australians and the 13.3 million internet subscribers that pay more than $50 or more a month for an online service that cannot even compete with the likes of France, New Zealand or Russia.

Mr. Morrow, please, you are already a joke in other countries right now, please help us push back these laughs and criticisms with our own homegrown humour and access to the internet to keep making memes, boosting the economy and providing better ways to communicate with one another from Yass to Yirrkala. We want a 1Gbps service and want you to work with ISP's to develop it and make it affordable.

To quote Steve Jobs: A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them.

Show people the benefit of a fast internet and give it to them. Talk with people. Work on this.

Signed,

The Native Netizens of Australia.
