The amusing thing about this Super Broadband Network is that if it is ever up and running, very few of the population will be able to afford the download speeds which labor promotes…….companies/big business yes, the average user NO. Do labor idiots really think that the very fast download speeds are going to be free?

The labor gopvt and its supporters tend not to think. it is generally "i want therefore I will have". And it is up to those awful liberals and middle/upper income parasites to pay for it!

Intelligent and knowledgeable people, with access to far better information than you or I, say otherwise.

actually they dont at all. Industry is generally unconvinced unless they ahve been provided with a large segment of the pie in whcih case they are enthusiastic (of course). Treasury - that monument to failed predictions and faulty modelling - hasnt even bothered to model the cost. But somewhere deep inside you, where your integrity lies buried deep within you partisan soul, havent even YOU asked why when our hospitals are failing, our river network in historical distress and our education system suffering that we chose the BIGGEST EXPENSE in our history on the internet?

I guess it comes down to who's most credible. I'll go with Treasury.

You clearly don't appreciate how poorly the Australian Treasury have forecasted in the past then.

They are notoriously inept and have to revise their figures ALL THE TIME.

Qualifying for my CA they always used to say "If you can't get a job in banking or industry, you can always go work for the Treasury"

very true. Their record for modelling and prediction is so bad that frankly the opinion of you taxi driver has a higher success rate. Remember the 11% uneployment rate they predicted for this year? the $315B+ debt?

and there's more...
