    I think this will eventually come back to bite Malcolm on the bum.

    You'll just see the board stacked...

    with political cronies of the liberal party and ex Telsta and newscorp execs.

    None of whom will know a damn thing about delivering a 21st century broadband infrastructure.

      More likely it'll be IPA 'fellows' - they're the really scary ones.

      And they're the ones they've put in charge everywhere else.

    What Australia needs is Simon Hackett on the board. He has consistently identified NBNCo's failings and outlined solutions. One solution (150Mbps free CVC) was even taken on board by NBNCo.

    A do nothing board with only two goals shut down broadband development and make it enormously difficult and expensive to restart and somehow blame the Australian Labour Party for it's failure.

    Enough with the talk of cost blowouts already....

Plus there's the latest report which shows that costs are *lower* than expected. It's high time that Malware Bullturn face reality and leave the FTTP deployment alone.
