I'm surprised you haven't realised there's a contingency between the rollout targets in the leaked documents and those in last year's corporate plan.
NBN Rollout Scrapped
- Thread starter Garpal Gumnut
- Start date
It also may look worse for the Labor Party
And the Labor Party would not have tried to do the same things given half an opportunity...Too right they would have.
Very suspicious indeed, the media knew about the raids before Labor did. From leaks several months ago to a police raid now during election time screams of politics.
But what ever happened to Turnbulls promises for a transparent NBN?
Given the leaks have shown the NBN is under a state of disarray under this government no wonder he wants it kept away from public eyes, we have seen nothing but delays and cost blowouts for an inadequate NBN. Do it once and do it right.

I my street there was a rush to pull in draw wires just before the sniff of double dissolution. When a neighbour asked if that meant we were getting NBN, the response was that it could be a long way away, but they were told to get as many draw wires in as possible around the traps.
I wonder what benchmark that was included in?

Look at the weekly rollout progress report and you will note that the rollout is progressing well towards its June 30 targets from the corporate plan released last year. The rollout target of 2,632,000 premises RFS at June 30 2016 will be passed during June at the present rate.
As I've noted a number of times on recent pages of this thread, the delays outlined in the leaked documents refer to internal targets. These are more aggressive than the corporate plan targets allowing a level of contingency between the two. The organisation has, in short, allowed for a level of provision for unexpected problems and in terms of the present rollout progress, is still well within that provision.
It's making significant progress which it wasn't under Labor.

I never mind referring back to the ultimate reference when it comes to the state of the rollout under Labor.

On matters AFP raids re-NBN, there's a deafening squeal presently coming from Labor. What are they afraid of ?
Given Turnbull has spent the last 2 days answering questions on the raids I'd say Labor is quite happy with the outcome. LOL at the AFP trying to claim they aren't a highly politicized agency.
Some Thoughts of Aboard-band Network
O, TO be in Latvia
Now that Internet 's there,
And whoever wakes in Latvia
Sees, some speeds, beyond compare,
That the lowest speeds of copper sheaf
In antipodes be their be-leaf,
While'st the future sings on the connected bough
In Latvia—now!
Apologies to R Browning....
The defence of ineptitude by some here is nothing less than incredulous. The disabling for poliical purpose of the NBN by Abbott is little less than treason.

I had a very frustrating day o Friday when Telstra took out the ADSL and the NBN in the Gold Coast and regions It's reminiscent of the good old days and Telstra performance, I wonder how hard it would be just to text all its customer to let word spread that they are the source of the problem

When reading the internal documents one must take into account the highly ambitious targets NBN co has set in their 3 year plan. NBN co requires a doubling of premises passed each year to hit it's 2018 target of 9.1 million premises passed. The internal documents seem to indicate that with the attempt to ramp up deployment to gauge if these targets are achievable are not going to plan, they have missed their internal targets by 2/3rds. Reading between the lines I would say there is a lot of concern within NBN to speed up deployment to achieve the 2018 target.
The leaks also indicated that FTTN is well behind schedule, NBNco have attempted to hide the number of FTTN connections to date and in their annual results bundled FTTB and FTTN numbers together but as the leaks indicated only 1/3rd of those connections were FTTN and most coming from FTTB. Combine these with the leaks showing the NBN company had severely underestimated the cost of remediating Telstra’s copper network by a factor of ten and things aren't looking too good for the government NBN.
Again build it once build it right.

Those highly ambitious targets as you put it relate to the entire build and not just FTTN which has been the subject of leaks pointing to delays on internal targets.
What is important to consider here is a broader range of information than just the delays on internal targets. The Scale of the deployment document from Feb for example highlights delays both in longer term pre-construction and short term completion targets. The short term completion targets aren't a problem because of the contingency between internal and corporate plan targets which so much of the commentary has missed. The longer term pre-construction delays on some internal targets is more of an open question in terms of meeting corporate plan targets longer term but that to will depend on the level of contingency and management response.
Your point above regarding the build proportion between FTTN and FTTB also illustrates the problem with considering only limited information. In early April, I posted a reference to the following leaked document titled "Monthly Ready For Service Rollout Plan - Build commenced to the end of February 2016 - Brownfields." A direct link is below,

Post reference including some commentary at the time,

This is what I've been comparing the weekly rollout updates to and since posting in this thread. In it, you will notice there is a breakdown of both FTTN and FTTB and that FTTB is not that large in proportion.

Labor's aim with all its hyperventilation is to shake the tree and see what falls out in relation to the government exerting pressure on either NBNCo to go to the AFP or the AFP itself over the leaks.
So far at least, that doesn't seem to have yielded very much.

Regardless of what has been said by all sides and the press, the fact that the AFP executed a warrant on the office of a sitting Parliamentarian DURING AN ELECTION CAMPAIGN smells and the stench hangs onto the incubents.
Getting around the net that our NBN is one of the most expensive per capita on the planet and the thing doesn't even go properly apparently.
I no longer have a landline and due to my satsfaction with my Ipad working real well on more gigs a month for less than monthly land line rental will never likely hook up. A growing part of the population going the same way.
When are our pollies going to move on to useful matter with substance. They wave thier arms about but do not say how and when.

My problem with the AFP is they go hard against leaks against those in power but go slow/soft on leaks apparently by the government side (I doubt we'll see them kicking in any doors concerning the leak of the defence white paper or the submarine tender leaks this election campaign). They also go soft on investigations that might embarrass those in power (see the reserve bank's subsidiary bribing foreign officials or the Iraq wheat fiasco).

I predicted all this kerfuffle when I first started this thread.
Having Rudd and Conroy come up with a brainfart which has gobbled up and continues to gobble up billions of our taxpayer dollars was doomed to failure.
Two bigger muppets in business I could never pick.
It's all downhill from here.

So why didn't the Libs just can it completely when they got in ?
If it was doomed from the start then the Abbott/Turnbull government carries responsibility too does it not ?
