ALP communications spokesperson Stephen Conroy has said that if a Labor government is elected, it will mean a fresh start in the relationship between the government and Australia's telcos.
The national competition regulator today released a position paper detailing what it described as a "robust framework" for reviewing existing and guiding future telecommunications regulation of fixed network services.
The Australian Labor Party said today it would put forward a motion in the Senate to establish an inquiry into regulatory reforms which the telecommunications sector will need after Telstra is privatised.
The office of the Minister for Communication, Information Technology and the Arts, Helen Coonan, has slammed the Democrats' recently-released Spyware Bill, saying "new legislation was not required."
Australia's competition watchdog has recommended Telstra should cap local calls at 22 cents for the next three years.

The Australian Labor Party's ICT shadow minister wants a national fibre broadband network and enough skilled people to exploit it.
