Fair call on the NBN my real beef is that it could be done so much cheaper - a large debate but short on words. But your statement - yep I was being pig headed due to the one line spin coming out of one quarter. Good call.
If you read my initial posts I am not happy with how the infrastructure was allowed to run down while the debt was repaid and I wanted rid of Howard for a number of reasons not just that. The illegal war etc all lousy.
Did Costello have a plan to ramp up the infrastructure once the debt was repaid? This we will never know as I said. I am not right wing and tried to come in here with a balanced view however the really annoying rot I heard was from a left wing stooge and this is what i was reacting to. I am only human - read his lines and look at the tactics it just put me offside so I thought I might have some fun in the meantime.
Opps too long already. Bumpkin maybe, stooge never, not for either side. Abbott too right wing and they all sell us out in the end.
