You only get one Alan Bond/Malcolm Turnbull in a lifetime...

Which LNP cronies are going to reap the most benefit from this rising insanity?

Truly, brothers and sisters, the silverware and furniture is being stolen out from under us while we sleep, and is being auctioned off in plain sight in our own front yard while we look on helpless.

Been reading up on Russian corruption - amazingly - the courts there will find in favour or an outrageous tax bill on a foreign company, force them to sell up by giving them like 24 hours notice to cough up - and then government flunkeys and cronies buy it all up at rock bottom prices. All controlled by the government itself.... for the benefit of the insiders.....

Anyone else see a bell ringing here with NBN?

'We' buy it - our elected government pours billions into it - then the same government sells it back at rock bottom prices to the organisations 'we' bought it off originally, thus taking a huge loss.. which We The People pay for!! Then wait for prices to go up to sustain this 'privatised' industry.....

Am I alone in being flabbergasted?

We're being robbed blind every day by our own governments, who think it is 'normal' behaviour!

I cannot read the link. It wants me to subscribe. Can someone please copy the article since its nonexistence anywhere else is suspicious in its own right.

A lot of ifs, buts and maybes in that report. I guess what horrifies some of you is the idea that if you want fibre from the node to your home you might have to *shock horror* PAY FOR IT!

I think I will wait until there is an actual proposal on the table before getting all bent out of shape of a possible, maybe one-day perhaps sale.

They should rot in jail for it, Abbott and Turnbull in particular.

There will be no FOD because there is insufficient fibre to the node.

You overlook all the benefits of the NBN to the economy.

And you overstate the benefits... as does everyone else.
