  @TheKouk Including child care, the ABC etc. is only the first bit of where you’re wrong. Even if you include them in your list, they don’t put a dent on white elephants like the NDIS, NBN, and not to mention all the lost tobacco reve— oh, I’m sorry, I forgot you were a retard. Carry on.

  @robb_j_m NBN is free, the ISP is where the charges are and believe it or not it's customer support is why it costs much. The infrastructure costs are not the big cost.

  @BrowntownBrew @robb_j_m But real world demand was lower as no zoom or Netflix. But anyway - it’s moot. The government could buy every Australian household a starlink dish (2.5x faster than NBN) for <$6B - and we’re still not finished, having spent 10x that. The doomed NBN had the absurdist aim of connecting every sleepy country town with top shelf fibre whilst legally enforcing slow internet in our metropolitan centres (the only places where fibre is even economically viable). This is exactly what the libs predicted at the time and were ridiculed for it. How about just connect the high population centres (you know, the ones who actually need the internet for their livelihoods) and let rural people move to the city if they want 1gbps, and then later spent a few billion buying the rest starlink if we really wanted to continue pissing money up the wall (or just letting them buy it themselves, with their own money, if they really wanted it). You aren’t angry enough.

  @aussi3dutchman @robb_j_m I did. It was in my pocket all along. For an extra $100 per year. I can have 120mb/s anywhere I go. Cancel your NbN. It’s a scam. 👍

  @news_australian Stick it where it fits Malcolm, and your NBN plan for Australia is a piece of crap.

  @MrKRudd Like Rudds NBN $60,000,000,000 and counting cost to tax payers plus 70-90 monthly cost to use. Starlink ZERO cost to tax payers,get it anywhere, pay between 40 and 70 a month. No one wants to hear your ideas. **** off
