It's too bad it's so hard to create competition with privatization because Optus and Telstra etc. have such an infrastructure monopoly. Imagine a new private player disrupting the status-quo with big investors to start rollout of super high speed in some areas. Watch the others either scramble to do the same or engage in legal filibustering...or buy outs. The demand is there, people will absolutely switch to faster options if they are presented.
Could be easy money to a particularly rich private equity. Help us Daddy Elon
Isn't that what the starlink thing is doing? Daddy Elon shooting 10s of thousands of little low orbit satellites for low latency superfast interwebs?

It's sort of working too. Atleast for the people in non metro areas. Good mate of mine in the Vic highlands has got some quick net at last thanks to daddy Elon. Remains to be seen how good it can become.
Yeah I just looked up and some people are getting 200-300mbps. $140 a month but that's not bad for unlimited.
I checked my address and it's meant to be available next year. Twice the price of the 4g I'm using now, but admittedly I'm limited to 500gb.
I've said it before, but COVID has shown how much a winner this would be. How many billions are spent on road upgrades each year? COVID has shown many can work from home. Even more would on an on-going basis with faster / cheaper internet. Put $20 billion over the next 5 years into FTTH within 100 km's of CBD's and 20km's of every major Rural city, plus more satellites / towers for Rural/Regional outside those areas.
It's not $20 billion extra infrastructure long term on top of what would otherwise have been spent. You pull cars off the roads from more working at home and you reduce how many of those billions you spend on that infrastructure (and road upkeep). You get more parents able to work from home (reducing how much the government has to spend on childcare subsidies). You get cars off the road and you help move Australia towards Net zero carbon emissions quicker as a 'side benefit' at no extra cost.
It's a win on every level IMO.

Meh - sell it, take the profits, then re-nationalise for free whenever we feel like it.

Ok pro tip- teachers love wine. The more expensive the better. We also love spirits. We love alcohol.
We don’t need creams, coffee, chocolate (ok maybe we do need chocolate) but thank us with alcohol.
Remember the next time you are frustrated with your kid we spend all day every day them.
Thanks for listening

Economic right wingers
'people don't want to pay tax for that!'
Most people
'actually we're ok with that!'

One of our girls teacher got both alcohol (bird and hand) and chocolate (Haighs) but the other one was completely crap and I never hope to see her get again, she didn’t get her contract renewed and she got nothing.

I like to keep the spirits in the freezer like my chocolate.

And that is completely fair. I have done the same thing and hoped they talked about it in the staff room. I have also done it with my boys when they were at my school.

How is James Cordon even a thing? He's seriously dull and unfunny. Even his character in Gavin & Stacey was one of the least interesting.
It's like the world has suddenly decided that 'bland' is a desirable characteristic.

Coorperate sponsors certainly have.
Also for about five years there all you had to do do was make jokes about Trump and you get a TV show.

He's Everyman - like all the loser bozos depicted in nearly every tv commercial these days (especially the betting agency ones). Personally, I would like to see this Everyman loser from a sappy sitcom/romcom get his own late night talk show - at least he was funny-ish...
