Not wanting to stir things up too much here :)  But people with low
incomes can access ADSL2+ speeds for the same price as any other speed
at any exchange with competitive carrier infrastructure.  They can get
any retail plan for just under $30 inc gst.  $30 (ex gst) which from all
accounts will possibly be the minimum *wholesale* cost for a
12Mbps/1Mbps upstream on the NBN.

I fear that  low income people will be even financially further away
from their needed speed of 512/512Kbps.    You should join the AAB mate!
