  What happened was what always happens when it's a project run by the government. It failed miserably, and went way over budget. The NBN was so bad I begged my provider to give me back my previous internet connection. But they couldn't because they forced them to shut it down.

  @AlanBixter Our communications infrastructure system is not good enough. After the Turnbull NBN debacle and massive cost blowouts we still have inferior IT infrastructure. My internet is slow but works OK, however ph reception is woeful and I'm 40'ks from the coast of seventh largest city.

  To my Aussie friends: Wasn't the idea behind the NBN (National Broadband Network) to ensure that everyone had access to free (or at the very least inexpensive) internet? What happened? How much are you paying for internet access?

  @Teadaxs @robb_j_m The vast majority of third world internet infra is way better than nbn, perhaps a poor comparison

  @MarkoMatvikov There is no doubt Libs are to blame for our debt Federally Left Oz with a $1.2 T debt Blowout in NBN Blowout in inland rail Blowout in Snowy Blowout in robo debt AUSKUS Blowout in NDIS Closing of refineries & CPS. Clear evidence of what ALP has to do to fix the Lib mess

  I usually hate most government spending, but sometimes they get things right. The inland rail was a good project. Cancelling the inland rail is a terrible decision. It is just as important as the NBN, and in this case there isn’t a foreseeable technology that will replace it in 10 years time. Rail is insanely energy and labor efficient compared to trucks. Trucks should only be used for end of journey in a well optimised system.
