BenGrahamReborn, $40b / 12m premises / 10 year project = $333 per year per premise.
(Or $6.40 per week per premise or $3.07 per person per week.)
Around 1% of government annual revenue.
Libs estimated return per premise per year $744.
(Or $744 x 10 years = $7,440 minimum.)
As a comparison welfare would average around $200 per household per week, so if that $6.40 could reduce the welfare bill by even 3.5%, the NBN would be paid for.
