Election rant 6: broadband envy

...



If they weren't taking the moral and economic high road, an Edison-esque response would be to set up a pornographic and file-sharing website and serve up helpings of high-def hedonism to prove that the NBN really is, as some critics argue, only about faster access to porn and pirated movies.

Of course, that won't happen — although it would be, among other things, amusing. Yet I would suggest that not only are the Coalition fighting wounded, but that they are even envious of Labor when it comes to broadband policy.

They'll deny it, of course. However, the almost universal backlash against the Coalition's policy can't have gone unnoticed even by Abbott, a confessed non-tech-head, who is probably ruing the day he agreed to back such an anaemic, ineffectual policy as that proffered by the Coalition. Abbott and Smith call Labor's NBN a white elephant, but they have chosen to fight it with a herring.

'You do know that Abbot just won the eection, dont you?

no

it is an extremely selfish, inward looking and petty minded country that would vote in a government on the basis of a broadband internet system.
If that is what Australia has become, we deserve the second rate governments that we will get.

I've seen both. I don't know how many seats either has, but I believe the Libs have one more than Labor.

72Labor 70LNP (counting the LCP from NT and the WA Nat)

Boothby moved from lib retain to doubtful.

And when you add the 3 independants who WILL vote with the coalition it is only Abbott that wil be able to form a govt. The independants wil drag it out for a while but they would be crucified by their electorates for support labor. It's a bit like Bob Brown claiming that the Greens will negotiate with Abott as well. We all know that will never happen. everyone is just playing the 'Im independant' line while already knowing who they will eventually support.

Ive seen it all played out time and time again.

Yes!    From a labor perspective I want Abbott in power!    So many promises - so hard to achieve,

GO TONY!
