The Writing On The Wall.

[Aloysius]

Hello Peter S.

Here in Darebin (Preston etc.) the great unwashed can get free wireless at a major shopping strip. Courtesy of Labor's Darebin Council.

Alas they never explained how these disadvantaged managed to get a nice laptop to take advantage of it.

I love the description of the "shirtless one"!

The Libs are putting out an NBN policy this week.

They will say:

"Fibre to node buddy".

What they won't say is that they have NO intention of doing that.

They will simply wait until in power and give a spiel on "Cannot change contracts etc."

Everyone know fibre to the node is best.

Yes Labor is giving free connection, but not free download, the ISPs will set that price. It won't be cheap.

NBN is now blown out by several billions and projected finish date 2023 or near.

So don't hold your breath waiting.

Worse for you if you are inner city, Labor know that no matter what you will vote for them so Labor will go for the marginal seats.

At least the Libs will concentrate on the cities and get funds to expand faster, unlike the wacky business model now running.

So after about 3 years we have about the grand total of almost no connections as distinct to premises passed.

I must admit the 50 odd spin doctors employed by NBN is impressive! God knows what they do!

I thought the NBN under Conroy was so good it sold itself!

Conroy another dud who will never be missed!

 

 

 

Hmmmmm my how time and investigation can change a picture:
