it is a win for tls, page-3

The national type voters in the country are entirely [word for annoy]ed off at the independents for supporting the ALP. They are pretty much finished which is why at least Katter is forming his own political party - the "lets abolish WOW and WSF" protectionists.

Meanwhile there is no way NBN will pass 2.2m premises by the next election so the break fee will not be triggered. And even if it were, what happens to NBN Co other than to be sold to Telstra? So Telstra pays Telstra its own break fee.

The deal failed its most important objective which was to remove the uncertainty surrounding Telstra's future. With Abbott holding ever increasing numbers to be the Next PM- its a complete crap [as in crapaud and most definitively not a swear word] shoot as to what happens next.
