If that is true then it supports the narrative that the ABC does not report the "news"

As was shown in the "burned hands" matter they did not investigate as a responsible reporter of news should.

In this case they seem to be protecting Turnbull when they should just put the facts out. Frequently the ABC shows bias by ommission, it is no longer an Australian icon as it was up until around ten years ago.

There is a broad body of opinion that considers that the NBN will be a disaster no matter what intervention has taken place since the change in Government and until it is complete.

Should that be the case then the problem lays with the initial "planning" on the beer coaster and maybe it needs to put into legislation that this type of "nation building" infrastructure cannot be commenced without a proper cost/benefit analysis.

Not easy to do, but the bottom line is that governments of all persuations should be held to account when they make major stuff ups.

Directors of public company's are and rightly so because it is not their maney that is being pi55ed against the wall but shareholders (read taxpayers).

The contempt that Red Undies Conroy showed to all and sundry in his running of things NBN is nothing short of criminal.

To be fair, Turnbull has a real dog's breakfast to deal with on that NBN white elephant and he seems to be trying to put the disaster in some reasonable shape as best he can...

I'm not surprised that the ABC is sheltering Turnbull from criticism as he is the lefties favorite and what they hope is their "ace in the hole" to destabilize the LNP government when the time is right...
