[AusNOG] Entire NBN board resigns

[Geordie Guy]

I'm not sure how the management body of the organisation in charge of
nationalising the country's broadband infrastructure resigns, with profound
interest and impact on the country's networks' future, and yet again
because it's a post to a NOG list that isn't accompanied with a traceroute
output someone's butthurt about it being offtopic.

New low.
