[AusNOG] Deputy PM, Anthony Albanese is also the Communications Minister

[Lloyd Wood]

Look, it's joined-up thinking. You dig up once, lay or replace the fibre or wires, _then_ do any road repair.

and, because it's properly coordinated in the same department, there will be no more backhoe digger-induced outages.

Hopefully they'll bring water/sewage/electricity under the same umbrella. This is the sort of long-term planning and careful consideration and handover of responsibilities that makes Australian government great.

Maybe they are just picking up on the car / road / transport metaphors the IT industry is always using it and taking it a little too far?
