If that logic follows through, then are we all now unmarried fabians without children...lol

And what about Gillard's frequent changes of mind? That's hardly good decision making.

lol IFocus, I thought you were capable of more reasoned debate than resorting to such silly labor style propoganda...:D
 
NBN Co requires an extra 2 and a half years to connect an extra 1 million homes as well as some "greenfield" areas. This is representative of 3% of the overall total infrastructure. 2020 is the new completion date.

2 and a half years = 3% or 1 million new connections. Do the math people ...... something is not adding up here ??

It might make a little more sense to you if you consider that Australia's population is not homogeneously distributed across the surface of the continent.

Sheeez even the "Australian" now calls it $36 bil


Key NBN bill passes the Senate



ONE of two key pieces of legislation relating to the operation of the $36 billion National Broadband Network has passed through the Senate.

The government yesterday moved to extend sitting hours and recall the Senate today, as it battles to push through two NBN-related bills before a six-week parliamentary break.

The NBN Companies bill was passed this morning with the support of the Australian Greens, independent senator Nick Xenophon and Family First senator Steve Fielding.

The shiny blue cable has only been terminated to the Tarcoola sub exchange at the moment. Backhaul I believe ??

Still a looooooooooooooooooooooong way to go before they drag the fibre up and down the streetscape todster. When it does happen I will probably be living in another country by then. ;)

It's the biggest scam since pink batts.

A huge financial impost on the country and will lead to higher taxes.

And with the carbon tax and flood levy, we can successfully conclude that the policy of the labor party is 'FCK YOU AUSSIES! WE LUST FOR YOUR PAIN".
Which of course, leads us to the conclusion that Australian voters are predominantly uneducated morons and self-righteous masochists, with the balance being made up of the minority of sane people. :2twocents

HEY !

I resemble that remark. As an Australian voter that is. Will the person who voted for Julia Gillard please stand up and be counted.

The company responsible for the National Broadband Network rollout has been likened to a secret society and accused of failing to properly market super-fast broadband.

A federal parliamentary inquiry into the NBN has heard the average take-up rate in the three Tasmanian towns connected under stage one is only 50 per cent.

I reckon the government will announce the detail of the deal with Telstra tomorrow or early next week.

It will make a handy distraction from the electoral disaster of NSW Labor.
