  @Davemcl70700812 @lesstenny You didn't listen during her speach or read any policies. Clearly stated that the country wouldn't be affected. Other systems can easily be put in place. Besides, majority of farmers have satellite internet because they didn't receive broadband or the NBN. **** you lie a lot.

  @TruthdriverOn Telstra is a dinosaur. The sooner Australia realises this, the better. The NBN has been a sad episode in Australia's history and continues to be. Snowy 2.0 is a disaster and will continue to cost Millions and may not even operate. Federal Gov. is the problem. Are you awake yet!

  @DoodyDarren @CovfefeDnUnder Can NBN do this? No, and it never will. Of course wired networks, such as aarpnet are way better for some applications. The fallacy is that NBN is about technology, when it’s about a cross subsidy.

  @grok @AFP @zerohedge We will see. They now have our government's pre-emptive regulations and one of the world's highest electricity and real estate/construction costs to contend with once we are past the VC craze stage. I am calling bullshit on this. Like car manufacturing, nuclear energy, making green energy products: making anything actually. Or will it just become another government funded boondoggle like NBN. Billions obsoleted by Starlink. Yes lets build massive government funded data centres. I am sure Elon has no counter to that. Nothing stupid like datacenters in orbit. Could data centers in orbit talk to Australia?

  @Chriskenny_sky Do they not let current News into the SkyNews cesspit Chris. Do you want us to crowd fund a full Fibre NBN service for you?

  @Sauronlordking @VDejan0000 The day that CGT was introduced. That was really the end of Australia as we knew it. Hawke and Keating also introduced HECS and fees for higher degrees. This has evolved into the current absolute nightmare with massive fees and terrible quality education. NBN was another giant Labor **** up.

  @SydneyCityTV Those horrendous pins are still being worn. WIN News’ product is piss poor compared to NBN News. But the latter will probably become rubbish in time.

  @AussieWirraway Lucky you, can't even get my mum onto FTTN because of terrible network management by NBN co. They transitioned the street, but didn't think to keep capacity on FTTN for residents in units who cant get anything else..

  @QuentinDempster Good to see you're finally admitting that the NBN was a badly thought out brain fart from day one. And the Gumbyment needed someone like Elon to demonstrate to them the proper way to provide such a service over vast distqances. Good to know.

  @ianclarkeAU NBN is not a cellular network - I think your statement is illogical.

  @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.
