[LINK] NBN: A Nation Building Project - Dr Mark Gregory

[Frank O'Connor]

Mmmmm,

$60 billion, and all the wasted years and effort, down the tubes - because Abbott, Turnbull, Ergas, Ziffy and the rest of the ‘MTM NBN’ couldn’t accept that the original idea of building for the next 50 years, rather than building for 2010, was the go.

$60 billion to be spectacularly behind the rest of the world in infrastructure and capabilities.

$60 billion utterly and completely wasted. Only an utter technological moron or someone looking to throw money away would buy into the NBN’s privatisation now … so it’s all gone, wasted ... by politicians and their flunkeys to whom ideology and politics were more important than technological expertise and nation building.

I really hope these destructive short sighted pricks are remembered for what they have done …

Just my 2 cents worth
