But they did, and they risked far more than what was on the table.

Abbott took over the NBN in 2013 after taking his version of the NBN to the election.

Abbott canned Labor's version of the NBN in 2013, and Abbott made the decision to spend more money on an inferior product.

The year is now 2019, the Libs have been in charge of the NBN for 6 years.

The Datsun 120y NBN is all owned by the Libs.


".....The NBN will have a new business plan to ensure that every household gains five times current broadband speeds – within three years and without digging up almost every street in Australia – for $60 billion less than Labor....Abbott (2013)"


A Rolls Royce for $43b (with a better business plan), or a Datsun 120y for $50b+ (with a stuffed business plan).

Look in the mirror, and blame those that decided in 2013 to go down the path of their own version of the NBN.
