NBN Rip Off: NBN Rip Off
NBN Rip Off
This Govt. is full of spin, they are telling us “We've determined that it's possible to publicly release some of the material, but we have been very careful and the material being released will not cause any uncertainty (about the NBN).”
She said the entire business case could not be released for reasons of cabinet confidentiality.
What rubbish, it is our money being used and they will not release information that could lead to uncertainty about the NBN ?? Are people going to accept this AGAIN??? It is time the Independents, stopped kissing up to the Government and started doing their job. Senator Xenophon started to, but seems to have ignored what is under his nose, they have released certain info but he has almost decided to vote based on its release and not what is in the documents, and the obvious omission with regards to this Telstra deal?
The government had also agreed to a number of measures, including ongoing oversight of the NBN roll-out by a new parliamentary committee to be chaired by a lower house independent MP.
It will report every six months during the roll-out, expected to take eight years.
Again we can expect to see more independents selling their soul for a job with significant Govt. sweeteners, so the process will not be independent at all.
The Prime Minister said the document outlined the “sorts of products that people will be able to get through the National Broadband Network. So that's a new piece of information.”It is important to realise that the NBN is not delivering new access to products but access to products that would have been able to use a less costly broadband rollout. The NBN network is being pushed at a unprecedented rate, and by now we should have learnt a lesson that every program this Government introduces too quickly end up costing us hugely. In this case we will be handing it over to NBN Co, that will monopolise the providers and will charge us handsomely for the network we paid for rolling out.
