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.
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.The series of leaks on the MTM clusterf*ck were rather embarrassing for the Govt. But they were 5 months ago. A cynic might question the timing of the raids given the pending election.....
Of course they will.
Looking for information that the public have a right to know.
This looks bad for the LNP.
What are they covering up ?
Malcolm Turnbull has repeatedly promised transparency on the NBN. He has said:
"Maximum transparency is going to be given to this project."
Malcolm Turnbull MP, House of Representatives Hansard (11 February 2014)
"But our commitment is, our focus is, to have a much greater level of transparency and openness."
Malcolm Turnbull MP, Press Conference (24 September 2013)
"The bottom line is that as far as the NBN project is concerned, the government's commitment is to be completely transparent."
Malcolm Turnbull MP, House of Representatives Hansard (11 February 2014)
"The Government requires a high degree of transparency from NBN Co in its communication with the public and Parliament."
Malcolm Turnbull MP & Senator Mathias Cormann, Statement of Expectations to NBN Co (8 April 2014)
------------There's been some change at the top of NBN Co.

Mr Hackett, who joined the NBN Co board in 2013, attributed his departure to the growing needs of the Redflow business rather any frustration on his part on the state of the project.
Speaking to The Australian last month, Mr Hackett said that the NBN may not be perfect but it was making significant progress.
“I’m in the tent being part of the solution not complaining how the solution doesn’t seem to be there,” he said.
“I’m not pretending it’s wonderful because it’s a creature of political policy and has an annoying tendency to change over time but I’m telling you as strongly as i can that there’s a team of bloody dedicated people there.”
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.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.
It's making significant progress which it wasn't under Labor.I’m not pretending it’s wonderful.

I never mind referring back to the ultimate reference when it comes to the state of the rollout under Labor.Oh Bollocks - it was a real NBN under Labor, now its a half ass mish mash.

On matters AFP raids re-NBN, there's a deafening squeal presently coming from Labor. What are they afraid of ?

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.
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.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.
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.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.
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.
.
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.
