With the greatest respect Jack, you're as thick as two short planks sideways.

It'd be like trying to explain advanced algebra to a monkey.

My monies on the monkey.

You think a CBA is the same as Treasury costing so you must be the monkey.

Knew the monkey was a better bet than Jack.
Matter of fact the two short planks are as well.

The point I`d like to make is. Whether CBA`s have been done before or not is totally irrelevant, and to harp on about prior Government projects in this vein is nothing more than declared stupidity. The use of this "tactic" in debate is exactly equal to declaring that one is too stupid to continue the debate, and needs to stall all inteligent discourse.

To request a CBA ofr a project of the magnitude of the proposed MBN is reasonable and sensible. To oppose a CBA on this project is an admission of shonky practice.

Well, at least SOMEONE'S prepared to admit it

The double standard

practice of the Abbott Liberals is it's "demand"

(funny term, when you're in no position to)

a whole new standard

and hurdle to a Government it

That CBA's have NEVER applied to government infrastructure projects - before Turnbull had this brainwave of a delaying tactic

First "demand" was the Treasury costings ...

DONE

Second "demand" was the Business Plan ...

DONE

Then they pulled THIS one - to stall things a little further - try and scuttle it - all so they could use "Labor's failed broadband" along with such cliches as "great big new tax"

ENOUGH was ENOUGH
