[AusNOG] News: Minister Conroy contemplating Government-Funded undersea cable?

[Paul Wallace]

I wish he'd build a bank instead to drive THOSE prices down!

This Government is now well down the road to ruin QANTAS
And well down the road of crippling further investment in mining
They've already caused the crippling of investment in the telecommunications sector

Perhaps it's time to update the old Python role of 'Minister for silly walks' to "Minster for stupid silly statements".

And to think this man graduated in Economics!

Threatens 'unfettered power' to drive down prices.
Communications minister Stephen Conroy has threatened to fund a new submarine link between Australia and the US out of the National Broadband Network budget if international pricing does not fall to reasonable levels.

Discuss!
