Geees you're tough. He lost his knighthood because he went to jail. Joh was technically innocent of all charges so didn't lose his.
No, I'm happy with Bishop remaining deputy. She's such a great asset to have in that position - for the Labor Party, that is.
I use the Australian paper on a daily basis... saves me buying toilet paper.
Lets be honest this article is simply filled with anecdotal evidence, and quotes from some randoms? I chuckled with the line...
Ms Whitten said the wireless internet connected at her home was "super-fast" and she and her family had experienced "no dramas" with the service delivered by Telstra.
Seriously these articles serve no purpose, another can easily be written quoting people supporting the NBN just as easily - surely you can see that. Therefore this article brings to fore the journalists own personal views on the subject or more likely his political views... or even more likely the newspapers general agenda. At best this is a lightweight fluff peice for Liberal government support - no conspiracy... just reality.

I know it is reported in The Australian (some skepticism and conspiration theory is allowed in this thread) but you have to read what the constituents in rural areas think about the NBN. It seems Windsor's argument about the role NBN can play to arrest the decline in rural population is an over-simplification of a complex web of issues. Certainly, with NBN facilities, living in the bush can be a delight if affordable and at the cost of giving up on other essentials.
This prompted a change in the law to allow a majority verdict. He would have been found guilty under today's law.
Witzl, the Coalition's policy is pretty much what you describe.
I've got nothing else to add to this thread.

Yes, I agree, it's been fun. And this thread is probably on it's last pages as it's getting too big and there is more crap than interesting stuff now, but I've learnt heaps.
It could be spun out into a few new threads. Say,
'The NBN', and
'Labors in, so what happens now?' and
'Independant politicions'
See ya's.
So, basically the original Labor policy that got knocked back at the tender stage?
Hey yeah.... i totally forgot about that until you reminded me!!
... my plan is pretty similar, the key difference is the govt buying out telstra's wholesale network to eliminate their vertical monopoly though.
I still dont get why labor gave up so quickly on their original broadband strategy.... it actually made some sense!!
