He got sacked from 2UE for asking Julia about the AWU "scandal!" I'll get my news from less pro-coalition sources.

Pictures speak a thousand words

Doesn't matter the source of those pictures, nor their political leanings

THE PHOTOS TELL THE STORY !

THE PHOTOS DO NOT LIE !

The PROBLEMS inherent in this INSANE scheme

are obvious !

You think the pink batt fiasco was bad

Wait until the compensation and injury claims resulting from this botched-up, third-world scheme start being lodged !

Broken ankles !

Gangrene !

Fatal falls !

Damage to property !

Damage to facilities !

This looks like a drainage ditch from deepest AFRICA !

You mean to tell me this is 21st century technology !

LOL

Stop the madness !

Reply #6 - Aug 15^th, 2013 at 12:52pm I'm asking the nbn for clarification on whether this is their work or not. None of that looks like the nbn's work anyway - it looks more like the work that Telstra or Optus has carried out. I hope he hasn't mislead his readers.

Not according to the SMH article above:

Rollout time:
LABOR - Ten years
COALITION - Six years

Cost to 2012: (own estimates)
LABOR – Capital expenditure $37.4 billion
COALITION – Capital expenditure of $22 billion

Who cares about the time-frame

We're ON internet NOW aren't we ?

Concentrate on the rural sectors that don't have anything

and leave it at that

The proposed expenditure on systems which will be outdated before they're half completed

is just a chance for pollies to grant contracts to their crooked buddies !

That's ALL this is about !

MONEY !

We do not need it

We cannot afford it

It will be outmoded before it's half finished

We're all online now, obviously

We're managing

Both parties want the chance to hide/steal billions from this scheme

plus the chance to award contracts to those who'll grease their palm

Money

No. I don't want to pay for this third world mess

Leave it as it is

Take care of the rural folk

and leave well enough alone

Far more pressing needs than increased bloody broadband speed

when let's face it ---- all it will produce is more garbage along the lines of Facebook and this forum

PZ547 - if we don't build the nbn we won't be saving any money!

The money can't be moved to another area.

You may not need it, however Australia needs up to date telecommunications infrastructure.

If we used the same thinking on the copper network or any of our infrastructure it would never have been built.

Horseback and fire is all we'll ever need!

The copper will need replacing within the next 10 years - should we replace it with more copper or with fibre?

Do you think the current network is "fine" and will be forever or are you counting on a magic cellular network that doesn't exist yet?
