There are lots of things that need to be funded by government but I think they are right in saying improving the NBN in areas that need it is an investment that will pay dividends

It's just a shame the original mantra of "do it once, do it with fibre" wasn't applied. Turnbull really dropped the ball on this one

Also agree it's increasingly concerning that people are relying on Starlink given how Musk has lost the plot

I wonder if the recent rash of spending in rural and regional areas is a lesson learnt from the Queensland election where Labor was crucified outside Brisbane?

@HardBeingGreen What I find disappointing about the NBN funding announcement is that it seemed to be about overbuilding the FTTN component, not providing fibre to Fixed Wireless and SkyMuster areas. :(

@david I think it's probably about bang for buck and priorities. Sadly those areas are further down the list

@HardBeingGreen picking the low hanging fruit isn’t “finishing the NBN” though (not that any infrastructure project is actually finished).
