copperroad, Turnbull wasn't supposed to turn the NBN off, he promised to honour the existing contracts.
I suppose I'll have to tell the kids that the NBN doesn't exist and Australia is an Internet backwater because Abbott believes that $5.5 billion+ per year for the PPL makes more sense than increasing Australia's economy and business prospects.
The NBN Co has spent $6.5 billion so far over 6 years.
Abbott is advocating in excess of $33 billion for PPL over a 6 year period during a budget emergency.
It definitely doesn't feel like we have dodge a bullet.
