Who cares if the Coalition fudge a bit because they will sell the NBN shortly after they take over next year or earlier to recover the enormous wasteful irresponsible incompetent borrowed money that has already been squandered on this earthbound antique.

The NBN won't ever be finished as it would cost about $100bn and it very likely won't ever show a profit and the borrowed money represents a huge financial burden on the Australian taxpayer and so the Coalition must act quickly to drastically reduce the huge wasteful interest cost directly attributable to this monument to the incomparable incompetence of the very worst most despicable lying excuse for a "Government" in Australia's history.

The mistake the useless hopeless unqualified incompetent ex-unionist Laborites made is that the growth in telephone calls is in the mobile area and not in home phones. The NBN earthbound antique is not much good when one is moving around as it does not stretch very well.

Most Businesses that require fiber optic cable already have it and most mobile bases are already connected to fiber optic cable. The only useful expansion of the NBN earthbound antique is to places which don't have any effective service at present but, however, these places, due to the long distances and difficult terrain, are very expensive to install fiber optic cable to and will never return a profit.

Merely duplicating existing services is prohibitively expensive and existing consumers with an adequate internet service simply won't be able to afford to pay for a faster service particularly after the utterly ridiculous Communist inspired "CO2" socialist tax steadily ruins the Australian economy - fortunately the stewpidd "CO2" socialist tax will be quickly repealed by the vastly more responsible and competent Coalition Government.
