Turnbull kept ordering more and more CBAs and inquiries until he got one he liked

This one reads like he wrote it himself.

The first law of Government is, if you want an Inquiry, then make sure you know the outcome before you start.

What like there's totally no need to do a cba because basically the Labor proposal's perfect.

What the * is this?

 

[mottrain]

What the **** is this?

Why didn't labor do a cba??

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

Why didn't labor do a cba??

Because it's a no-brainer that this will need to be done.
Because the government's role is not to turn a profit?
Because the CBA that was done is completely political horseshit and relies on guesswork and some very silly assumptions?

Got to laugh at the bits they left out. Up/down speeds for FTTN are extremely vague - however it does say 'the panel had access to FTTN download and upload speeds by distance from the premises to the node, but these data are not included here for commercial‐in‐confidence reasons'

is - it's s**t

Why did no one do a CBA on the copper network before they rolled that out? Imagine how wrong it would be if they had done.

Yeah, the point isn't to turn a profit. But there still needs to be an assessment if the project is worthwhile before building it, otherwise Australia would have landed men on the moon.

Except the moon is not something we desperately need to land on to keep up in the 21st century.

Australian history is full of visionaries who produced vital infrastructure iconic works who got turned on by a certain section of soceity, abbott is firmly in the latter , and has been joined by turnbull, even though he is mr internet according to abbott.

Utzon who left in disgust never to return, the opera house
Canning in WA who built the water pipeline and comitted suicide he was hounded that badly
Lang and the harbour bridge.

In fact the people who seem to be venerated are your alan bonds, christopher skases, and they turn out to be ratbags all along

The assesment(s?) that has been done is a monumental waste of money and time.

Why because basically it showed Labor's lovely model to be a bloody sham?

 

[Maggie5]

Bias=this is the outcome we want you to arrive at. Simples!

Why didn't you respond to my other post?

WHat other post.

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

WHat other post.

The post in which I replied to your question - the one you would have gotten a notification for?

The list of errors, omissions or outright deceptions in this CBA is plenty long enough to completely invalidate it's existence.

 

[Pessimistic]

Yeah sorry wrong name

 

[Pie eyed]

Shock horror, Abbott gets the taxpayer to pay for a cost/benefit analysis which supports his fantasy of tinsand strings.
Guy cannot govern.
Even a woman got more legislation through, with a hung parliament and an opposition hell bent on ruining the country.
Flaccid tool.

Getting legislation through is a pretty poor way to measure the ability of a government. It also actually shows how silly and false Labor's plan was.

So you are saying labor lied about the numbers to avoid putting the debt on the balance sheet?

Is that not misleading and deceptive conduct of the highest order?

Honestly I'm sick of this type of thinking - I don't give a s**t what the last mob did - whatever they did does not make what the current government are doing ANY BETTER. You don't get to give these morons a free pass for every decision made in self-interest or just outright incompetence, because someone else did something before them.

Get the * over it.

Please explain.
Rather than show 'how silly and false Labour's plan was'-it actually showed that they knew how to govern. A concept Tone is struggling with.

Seems like nothing has happened since the last time i checked the roll out map for Melbourne 12 months ago. Are they still actually building this thing? Whens it coming to the suburbs?

It's been TurnBalled. You didn't think the Liberals would make themselves look bad by have the FTTH rollout kicking some goals whilst they came up with their shitty plan did you? It was put in go slower mode as soon as Turnbull was sworn in.

Nope the map has been cleaned on MT's order's.

We had the NBN commencing the laying of cable in our area, had the cables turn up with their trucks and then gone never to be seen again 10 months later.
