still no reasons for wasting 100 Billion Dollars of Tax Payers money...

isn't it funny how the welfare bludgers of this forum want to throw our money away..

if they actually worked for a living and "paid" Tax like the rest of us maybe they wouldn't be so flippant with OUR money...

It's taxpayers money - not yours. You know what infrastructure is supposed to be paid for with, don't you?

Mate, we can't have infrastructure.

That involves *GASP!* spending...

"There will be no infrastructure under a government I lead..."

I just can't understand these clowns. After all the trillions the gov has taken from us in tax, the first time they attempt a major infrastructure project from it, these jerks say "oh don't worry mate - we'll pay for it"
Soon they'll be saying:

"roads? We don't need roads. This potholed mess gets us from A to B doesn't it?"

"hospitals? Pfft waste of money. Or local witchdoctors hut gives us all the healin' we need"

"power station? What's wrong with candles to light our homes?"

They are only opposed to it because it was a labor policy ... if Howard or Abbott had thought of it, they would be shouting it from the rooftops as the greatest thing since the invention of the wheel.

For longweekend58, it's a good day when he's made a fool of himself less than a dozen times. I wonder about his grasp of reality.

I fail to imagine ...

Indeed.

mm a whole ONE TV at enormous price and no source material or player.

400Km/hr cars are available too but we aren't designing our road system around them.

I fail to imagine how watching a bigger/better tv is beneficial for anyone or for Australia.

It'ld be better for you to go for a walk.

so how does a better tv improve your life ?

It is just one example of the infinite possibilities of the NBN.

How about downloading a movie from your local video store in 5 minutes ready to play on your TV?

How about watching full HD TV in real time from places like youtube?

What about running a full large internet server from home
with huge 1 GBit/ sec upload?

We can only begin to imagine the possibilities.

Well - say goodbye to it for now.

At least Turnbull is promising direct optic fiber connection
for those willing to pay for it but I heard a figure
of $20,000 per month to rent a 1 GBit/sec line speed. (up & down)

Who can afford that?

why should we spend $100B so you can avoid driving to the video store? the biggest infrastructure expenditure needs to have genuine benefits beyond bigger TVs.

Whenever anyone asks about the true benefits of the NBN no one can ever articulate it other than TV - and that simply isn't good enough. Faster porn and torrent downloads don't seem like much of a reason either.

NOT ONE CREDIBLE RESIDENTIAL application at all.

when they were discussing telephone lines and debating wether to put them in or stick to the telegram and stage coach, do you think they envisioned dial up? fax? video calls?

your argument is beyond pathetic.

Tired and pathetic old argument

The quality of discussion in this forum persuades too many people have access to the current system anyway

Stop the damn boats

Eject a large proportion of migrants already sneaked in by Labor

Cut the amount to Indonesia (why the hell are we giving them anything at all ? Let's look at THAT)

Reform the electoral commission. It's slack and open to corruption. Dab everyone with indelible ink once they've voted and put those ballot papers under armed guard overnight and tighten up the scrutineering

Stop giving money to car manufacturers when they're making profits in the billions

Disperse migrant ghettos throughout Australia for those who're permitted to remain

Get the fluoride OUT of our water !

Urgent enquiry like yesterday re: the toxins being dumped in the air we breathe by the military we pay

An end to politicians living on our dollar until the day they die. Put the bastards on performance based contracts

feel free to add

15 years ago we were all happy with dial up speeds.
Now in 2013 dial up is completely unusable.
In 15 years time todays internet speeds will be archaic. But we will be stuck with 19th century copper wire.

and I'm not sure that, given the nature and style of most of your posts, you can comment on the quality of discussion on this forum without being a total fvcken hypocrite.
