Another Labor millstone

"Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has admitted it was a "big mistake" to set up a new company to build the National Broadband Network, adding that Labor left the Coalition a "calamitous train wreck".

Mr Turnbull was questioned about the NBN this morning after Four Corners reported the troubled rollout was creating a digital divide across Australia, with some households saddled with older technology such as copper phone wire and pay TV cables, and unable to access the high speeds they are paying for.

The Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman also revealed an almost 160 per cent increase in NBN complaints over the past financial year. "

----------------------------------------

Stephen Conroy and Greg Combet's "back of the envelope" scheme. What a shemozzle.  

And there's a very strong chance the voters will put the Pinkos back in power in a couple of years, FFS. God help us.

Astro Boy has charges upgraded

"A charge against the Hobart DJ accused of headbutting former prime minister Tony Abbott has been upgraded to one that carries a 10-year jail term.

Astro Labe, 38, was charged with common assault after a September 21 incident on Hobart's waterfront.

The charge has now been amended to causing harm to a Commonwealth public official.

Mr Labe appeared briefly in the Hobart Magistrates Court on Monday morning.

He did not enter a plea and his bail was continued.

At the time of the incident, Mr Abbott told the media the attacker was wearing a "Vote Yes" badge."

------------------------------------------------

He looks like a rad red lefty dickhead arseclown.

[Bradman]

Looks more like one of abotts suppoerters from the national front.

[horace]

Spot on Braddles. Looks like one of Jones' Bondi Bra Boys.

btw Skully it was Truffles who farked the bbn when he was Comms Minister. The MM and Downer would not let him spend. Still what does it matter? This is such a dumbarse joint and pawn seems to be the top of the pops in this country.

The biggest problem was the stoopid constraint to have it "off budget" and that everyone in Aust got it. That stuffed up any opportunity the NBN had of being a genuine nation-advancing project. FTTP for every city and town with a population of over, say, 30,000 (ie Devonport) would have been a great outcome.

[Bradman]

When was the last time this country had a bipartisan nation building project and when does this schmozzle start to show up in the current account?

The carbon tax was bipartisan. Sadly it wasn't the two main parties.

Hehehe. Actually the Greens would probably disagree.

And whose decision was that??? Hmmm??

The NBN has finally been switched on in my area & my ISP has sent me a new modem but i'm hesitant to use it given the problems.

The head of the nbn is on the drum atm explaining they're gouging metro oz to make it cheaper for the rest of us.

My Mum has the NBN on and has had no problems, so connect away, Mr Dog. The big issue I see emerging is that all land lines will eventually go through NBN routers, and when there is a blackout, you lose your phone. Old landlines were self-powered.

Not such a massive problem if you have a mobile signal, but the older generation ("I don't want one of those new fangled mobile phones, thanks") may have dramas.

I am currently very happy with my broadband service, but fear that once the NBN is connected in my area (2019) I may have to pay more for an inferior service.

NBN is shit, and insecure.

Anyone remember how to use a telex machine?

They are only bipartisan in tugging the forelock to USA when it comes to nation wrecking, eg ljh and Beasley on Iraq.

High Court to announce rulings on dual citizenship on Friday.

Will be interestin, esp re Barnaby. He has been unusually quiet of late.

By the way the bownies are as useless at implentation as the radishes.... Think NBN and Traineeship and RTO sector rorts of late. And Skully"s fave - the Pink Batts from the radish days.

Stimulated the economy and less problems per install than was the norm.

No argument from me, h. The Libs have been quite appalling under Turncoat. It's dismal and dismaying.

At least with Abbott at the helm there was some policy, fight and direction.

[Bradman]

I'd sort of agree if you mean ta as opp leader. As pm not so much.

They don't need to, Rupert hands it down like jc on the mount...........amongst other things.
