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

[Beeson, Ayden]

Wow such pessimism guys :)

Maybe with all the NBN fibre people won't need to travel in and out of Sydney as much? :P

(note - I still think the FTTH plan is one of the best decisions any government has made lately)

Thanks,
Ayden Beeson

Haha!

It's an appropriate collapsing of portfolios given the likelihood they'll continue to do zero about the airport problems in Sydney (after 25 years of abject failure to act) with the outcome CONTINUING to see the long term curfew that has so debilitated travel into Australia's largest city)??

Not to mention a very long list of other freight & road based needs that continue to degrade

But these aren't sexy measures that get you re-elected

High speed broadband IS though

:)

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?

Yes well it makes perfect sense (see below copy from the SMH) that Albanese take on Roads + Communications in the same office the following makes sense
... when you consider that there's no money left for roads 'cos it all got spent on the NBN so he won't have to spend much time thinking about roads.

Fair shake of the sauce bottle!

Mr Albanese will take on responsibility for the NBN as Minister for Communications and Broadband. He retains his infrastructure and transport portfolio.
