The broadband availability report released by the Minister prior to Christmas is, frankly, nothing short of brochureware. It contains only three and a bit pages of (rather large font) text, and does not consist of “a ranking of broadband quality and availability in all areas of Australia” as the Coalition had promised in April 2013.

It is one of the briefest Government “reports” of any kind that I have ever read. I do not think it worthy of the name. I would instead describe it as more of a press release than anything else, containing information which could have been compiled by a couple of graduates or even interns at the Department of Communications.

I really have no idea how anyone at NBN Co — with that company’s deep engineering expertise — is supposed to take it seriously. It is a farcical effort that the Government should be ashamed of, and reflects a new broken election promise for the Coalition, if a minor one.
