Tony Abbot thinks a National Broadband Network project in Australia is just for video

Tony Abbot thinks a National Broadband Network project in Australia is just for video and gaming content and says its not worth it?

In my opinion I understand its a huge country to modernise but what they should do is focus on the major cities from Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney to Brisbane and then in the future expand it to Cairns and Perth on ether end.

A bit of topic but while they are making so much money on mineral excavation and exporting to Asia they should invest heavily and put the money into solar power and export it to Asia. Not sure about water supply to meet there needs for the future, desalination running of renewable energy? anyhoo back to my research papers :poly141:

Good, that Prime Minister had the lowest understanding of anything to do with tech I have ever heard off.

New dawn for Australian Gaming I hope, he was so anti games industry it hurt.

Although maybe he just did understand what technology could do for the country in this painful interview it becomes quite clear. (4.20 says it all)

I can't imagine it's going to make a lot of difference in the long run, but there's a bit of a celebratory mood here after seeing that snivelling cur cast out.

oh god when will politicians see that voters hate this musical chairs bs. way to sink your election hopes, just like the other lot did.

The policies are just the same, they just changed the PR spokesman.

Also, Malcolm Turnbull is in charge of the NBN so he's no better than Abbott in that respect.
