It seems that the country MP's are happy to see any regional electorate getting attention. Prospect in the Adelaide electorate scored one of the first metro NBN rollout commitments (before the election) despite being a reasonably safe labor seat, with a minister who didn't offer any autonomous thought about the NBN to the media.

I suspect Prospect was NBNco's idea and has reasonable decision making behind it and that post election annoucement priority comes from a higher (?) authority.
