libs have lost the plot
Nov 23^rd, 2015 at 4:42pm

The Turnbull Government is in the final throes of weighing up the sale of the communications network that connects all its departments, in the midst of a storm over foreign investment in strategically important assets.

According to Government security guidelines the "protected" security classification means its compromise "could be expected to cause damage to the National Interest, organisations or individuals".

Mr Sheridan said the network was about a tenth of the cost of commercial cable.

"We call it dark fibre... so we just provide the link. They [departments] run over whatever communications they want to," Mr Sheridan said.

The fibre is capable of carrying up to two terabits of data a second, 2,000 times faster than the fastest NBN connection.

This is a secure network designed to allow govt. departments to speak freely, and the libs want to sell it off? Do they not understand what secure means?

I hope that bitch who was running their brothels for them gets raped with a cactus.

The foreign vested interests probably reckon we don't breed customers fast enough so just get it over and done with!
