This is how it's being spun:

So they either need to remove the threat (the nbn itself) or get a move on. They can't get rid of the nbn because politically it is unpopular to do, so all they can do is get to the otherside as soon as possible. We're all poorer for it, however, it's what we wanted (being an nbn no matter the consequences).  ...
So the NBN is the problem. :/

To my mind, the only reason we need the NBN project is to repair some of 
the harm done by privatisation.
