Other issues have drowned out debate on the NBN. I get the feeling that 
both major parties wish it would go away entirely. They're more 
interested in other things.

The NBN is really only a project to address privatisation-induced 
neglect of Australia's telecommunication infrastructure. The issue isn't 
the NBN, it's the infrastructure.

Below is text of a message I intend sending to political parties:

I wanted to keep it brief and simple. Is it too simple? Have I left too 
much scope for politicians to pretend that they don't realise that the 
NBN is telecommunications infrastructure?
