  It's bad enough that I assume NBN co called my mother to offer an FTTP upgrade, which is not even possible because the address has an MDU which is not FTTP ready. Like I said, I don't think the people doing the work have any idea what they are doing. Disappointing.

  @Martywa467 @VoteLewko @Starlink NBN faults are dealt with via the telcos. After four cancelled appointments by NBN after Telstra said it was an NBN issue ( it was), I bought a Telstra 5G router and threw out the NBN box. I would prefer Starlink but it has a congestion charge in our area of $700.

  @TheLucidyn @Batman2242 Kind of proving the point. Gov can't perceive anything. Making large Capex decisions that are supposed to be generational. It was anti competitive from the outset. Private companies (TPG notable) were prohibited from building out their own network. Regardless, I can have starlink internet now for about the same monthly price as the NBN except i didn't have to front the Capex (and debt) for it. NBN very likely has a negative ROI. I wish we judged policies by outcomes not intentions.

  @VoteLewko @Starlink This is exactly why we need billionaires and trillionaires to do things that our governments always completely fails to do. So glad we wasted billions of our dollars on a rubbish NBN service huh

  @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.
