  This should NEVER happen. We have written to the federal minister and the NBN objecting to this and to clarify their total expenditure here. This data was all procured directly from the SCA 2026 Conference Sponsorship website page. (7/7)

  @robb_j_m Starlink. A satellite connection through the NBN in our rural area was a bit of a nightmare. Starlink is reliable, no limits on usage, and we never get throttled. I'll never go back.

  @michaelsnape Jenny and Matt made $5.3m in profit on the sale of their business after tax. Their business was reliant on - Roads and Transport infrastructure - Electricity infrastructure - Police and Emergency services - NBN And many other services afforded through their taxes.

  Tech illiterate idiots in this comment section is insane, if ur still getting low internet speeds with nbn installed ur likely not asking for the fttp upgrade which is free and ur paying the same per month sometimes even cheaper then ur avg fttn ect with deals, yes sometimes u cant get fttp installed but cases are slim and u only ever have to pay if ur 1. Getting business grade lines (which u wont need for the avg household) 2. If they have to actually install the lines which if u have pre existing lines then ur fine and wont need to pay which is the case for most, As for wifi its only really a user issue so many things can can contribute to a bad wifi connection Like Bad routers Damaged lines Interference (usually if u have ur router lined with a stud in the wall can contribute to this) but microwaves and emf interference can cause a bad wifi connection Some routers just need a simple setup properly rather then it being just default IF you’re internet provider says anything like ur ineligible immediately ask for a technician to come out and look as the internet provider company’s themselves don’t have the technology to see if you’re ineligible or not they might say they do but at best they only have surface level ****, my first 2/3 calls to the internet company’s themselves were “you’re ineligible” the 4th I asked for a technician to atleast have a look and he said and in quotes “this is piss easy to install what where they even telling you” they then relayed that to them and got this (photo attached) within the next couple of days with the fibre installed And I’ll add my circumstances which is why I think most will not have any issues • I live in ******** nowhere with a avg of 2/5k people with a outdated tower for the town • the house I’m currently in is roughly 80+ years old as far as I know it got built in 1945 (yes it did get re modernised but like surface level **** like up to date stove and redone walls and paint obviously) no rewiring Yes we got ****** by abbot so we had to deal with **** company’s like Telstra Optus selling a fttn scam for probably more than enough time but we have had fibre implementations for a while now so the wifi/internet connection excuse just isn’t there anymore maybe at the start but we are pretty close to having most of Australia on fttp or atleast attempting We are in no way as good as NZs and USAs fibre implementations but you should be getting perfectly fine wifi and speeds for the avg homes use no matter what you do and if u work from home and do any data transfer work.

  @SimonBanksHB “Modelling shows” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Labor modelling also gave us $275 lower power bills, mining tax revenue, a surplus and NBN timelines that never arrived. Publish the assumptions, not just the headline. Young Australians deserve evidence, not spin.

  @AtomicEconomics So the Abbott, Turnbull and Morrison governments were all completely helpless and none of the debt was their fault? Even though they completely redesigned the NBN rollout? The NDIS is Labor’s fault even though it passed with the bipartisan support and was implemented by the LNP?
