Arguably the first crack appearing in their "100% wholesale" refrain??

That's the biggest issue I can see with it.
unless its a govt port that you plug your govt supplied equipment into for specific govt projects, using it for general purpose govt related stuff is going to be a massive support headache.
I mean accessing generic govt services over the magic port from a network with a regular RSP internet connection is going to need a fancy pants router.

I can see upsides, punters could perhaps to job interviews via video through centerlink say without the quality of their budget RSP making potential employers hate them before they begin ;->

Are we going to see a proliferation of multi-wan routers in the future to allow people to blend services from different ports/RSP into one network?

If only there was some way to ensure quality of service on a network without the government getting their own port.
