Abbott appears happy about it. What would you know? Do you have a direct cable to his brain?
Turnbull having been at the forefront of Internet and IT in the early years in Australia seems pretty happy about it.
Then why did he undermine his own NBN on national radio when he confessed, wireless was the future, not his copper stove NBN?
The policy does reflect the party ideals where one must be accountable for costs and cost benefit must be at the forefront of policy acceptance.
The policy reflects a Malcolm intentionally undermining the Liberal party, if he was leading the Libs, I'm certain his policy would have been quite different.
At least the policy allows room for improvement and technological change, even if it is marginal due to what labor has already done. Ha ha ha,,, really, how...how does one improve on boiling a rabbit on an old copper stove?
Apparently she doesn't realise the cost is not affordable in that we are borrowing money and the take up rate is abysmal.
I wonder if she could perhaps tell us what the costs are and what we get for those?
Conroys only works out to be 20% - 30% more expensive out of the box, however the problem is with it's execution, and lack of free-market business plan which will ultimately render it more expensive and less efficient to the consumer (us) in the long run in the absence of competition.
How does that compare to other current services? At least we have some choice now, though should Conroys NBN be rolled out due to Liberal's lackluster NBN being the only other alternative, then we are stuck with an expensive V8 on higher-purchase running on 4 cylinders.
Perhaps she could explain why the Australian government sold off Telstra T1/T2 and how Labor chopped and changed on T3 and has now created the NBN monopoly, surely that goes against previous Labor policy where Keating wanted to sell it all off..
Keating was never serious about privatising Telstra, rather was bluffing.
