“What about NBN?”

• Ready to work – we just need partners

• Unique access to govt. & funding

• Private Industry Initiatives (FMG, etc.)

• IOP & Exemption 17

Indigenous Joint Ventures

“…I will spend a week every year helping in an indigenous

community.

It will be good for me. It is important that our national leaders

remain grounded in the real life of our country”
