  @DarrylKerrigan3 @thecoastguy Yeah, it's a losers game in Technology esp. for the Government because it is too slow and too far behind the curve They'll spend all this taxpayer money implementing something that will take too long and cost too much, then something else will be created that will blow it out of the water NBN < Starlink anyone?

  @real_joshkent @VoteLewko @Starlink What nbn are you on? There are many different versions so you can’t just say nbn is bad across the board.

  @the_vocal_one @CovfefeDnUnder You’re missing the point. Wired networks pre NBN worked just fine, and still do. Every new NBN suburban / bush connection loses money. Every new Starlink customer is profitable, so it can strip away customers and NBN will slowly die. PS : I’ve been on 5G for years : 4x speed

  @PaulineHansonOz Morning Pauline. The 'du jour' attack on One Nation presently focusses on whether your policies are costed. As you know, this will become a regular feature of all uniparty (LNP will offer this sledge too) media / comms over the next 24 months. It shows the panic levels have escalated. I believe this is your best tactical response (below). 1. Be prepared to openly sully the reputation of the PBO The fact is that this department has costed the NBN, the NDIS and (to a lesser extent) Snowy Hydro. They are continuously wrong, because they are not highly skilled operators in private industry, they're public servants running to Standard Operating Procedure. Let Australians know the PBO is wildly off the mark with most of their projections. So why should One Nation seek this amateur level of analysis? 2. Move the financial analysis and broader discourse to the public forum. Be open, be transparent. Everything that Albanese is not. Aussies will see this and appreciate sincerity of effort and process. Invite critique from high calibre experts like @Adam_Creighton and @DrCameronMurray. Have the project estimations team at Hancock Energy run a ruler over it - they eat Class 2 estimates in their sleep and they'd crunch this work. 3. Empowering Aussies to think through the conundrum. If One Nation aspires to leaning out the public service, to increase quality and production whilst decreasing cost and regulation - most people realise that the public service are not and will never be 'independent' The PBO likes to remind us they are Parliamentary public servants, as distinct from APS. This is a meaningless distinction - they are inept and part of the loathesome Machinery of Government (MOG) that always seems to place Aussies last.

  @BiteSizedMediaX The Howard Costello government also left a future fund which is something like $240 billion now. Labour are eyeing that off, I wonder if they’ve already broken into it. Rather than just paying into it, they bought out NDIS, Nbn, all these other green BS things.

  Andrea (@1963amh) reported 25 minutes ago

  @SharkaByrne @newscomauHQ I paid extra to keep it at the time, so it would be accessible when nbn goes down. Or so I thought. Not sure what I paid extra for ( possibly another outlet )but it didn’t work, totally useless when it’s down. So much for progress.

  @NicFromOz They use Telstra wholesale network, coverage shouldn’t change from what you have now, 4G, no 5G, I have used them, changed to Superloop though, tied in with NBN plan for bundle discount.

  @Darth_Peachez Genuinely takes me ten hours minimum to download 100gb. It's local news obviously but there's a couple news sites in Australia talking about how a lot of us will be ****** by digital only because of how bad our NBN and wifi still is and how far behind we all are

  @Ryandally08 @socratesccost Yesss … you get $5.00 a week back off what the government has already stolen off you. Billions in waste and fraud in the NetZero program. Billions frittered away at the NBN. Billions pissed up against the wall on Victoria’s ‘Big Build’. Billions lost in NDIS fraud. Billions wasted on the Inland Rail. Billions down the drain on Snowy 2.0. Billions siphoned off to unions on Sydney roads projects. But hey … five bucks a week. You gotta thank Albo for that. Vote Labor last … Australia 🇦🇺 first 🧡

  @VoteLewko @Starlink If Australia’s state-owned NBN Sky Muster satellite network becomes completely obsolete compared to Starlink, the entire country becomes dependent on the decisions of a private, foreign corporation.

  @GregMarSci I assume you are referring to those educated under the Gillard national curriculum. Is there any part of government that has not been ****** up by Labor? What is worse is a LNP too cowardly to fix ****-shows like Education, NDIS, NBN, Indigenous affairs.....the list just goes on.

  @QuentinDempster Speed is latency. No satellite connection is "high speed" sick of the disinformation. Starlink is 20ms-40ms+ latency like mobile garbage is. NBN is a whopping 600ms latency. They need to keep this junk away from fibre areas where I get 2ms latency and have had since 2022.

  @DrewPavlou Australia's internet is **** because Tony Abbott deliberately sabotaged the NBN by making it fibre to the node. Rupert Murdoch was worried that streaming services would eat into his pay TV profits, so he had all his news orgs back Abbott. They even announced it at Fox Studios.

  @OzHempRocks @MarkoMatvikov 1/3 The latent, already eligible scenario Well, welcome to the world of whacky PBO estimations, eh? Let me see – so PBO are not to be trusted to estimate NBN, NDIS, Snowy 2.0, nuclear (etc) – but we trust them here? I see.... Let’s look at their stats and I’ll explain them to you for your benefit. This is how you come to quote the ‘uptake’ figure. See embedded table. So here is the 26% quoted as being ‘eligible’, or what you call uptake. But here is where that gets problematic. 1. Your optimum scenario relies on someone having $0 income. They’re not even filing an ITR! The $0 scenario does not apply to PBO modelling, as they’re not in that cohort at C, which drives D & then E. 2. Of greater relevance - of that 26%, this cohort includes any permutation of incomes for couples, the overwhelming majority of whom: a. Are eligible but earning in the same tax brackets (eg $45K and $75K, or $80K and $130K, or $200K and $200K) and hence receive no benefit at all, or b. Are in different tax brackets but are both at the lower end of the income scale (eg one at $40K the other at $60K – moderates out to $50K apiece saving $500) c. Are in different tax brackets, earning good incomes, but where the disparity is insignificant (eg one at $75K, the other at $150K – a saving of $1200) Of the ‘eligible’ pool of 26% of tax filers or 16% of the population, most of them receive $0 benefit as they ARE eligible but are both in the same tax bracket (2a). A large proportion end up with ‘something, but not material’. Before anyone jumps down my throat, consider this – the ALP’s WATO policy due to commence 2027 is $250 per person, so either; - ON does intend to continue WATO, which just further piles the burden on the tax system or - ON rescinds this, and most people (90% of income tax filers) are actually worse off. See example 2b above. They’d be no better off. So, I presume ON will inherit the (dubious) WATO and add IS (income splitting) into the mix. We just end up with a ludicrously over-engineered tax system. Punchline - we end up with between 1-3% of the population who receive a material benefit. It is probably closer to 2.5% of the voting population. Many parents will think they are eligible but end up receiving nothing. Which is the essence of populist policy. Let me be honest – the ALP WATO is fairer, simpler, and better. So, you either inherit it and over-engineer the system or discard it and wear the ire of the population. Or take my advice and engineer a far better, fit for purpose, future proofed model.
