I beg your pardon, that remark was ambiguously worded.  I meant:
"How is [NBN bought back poles and wires and tunnels for cables from privatised Optus and Telstra.] of more than passing relevance?"

If I remember correctly, buying back those poles & wires and tunnels & cables was an essential part of Tony Abbott's misconceived multi-technology-mix solution, and I'm sure the owners of the said hardware were only too pleased to unload it!!!  That project must surely rank as a fine example of how such decisions should not be left to pollies and business.
