[AusNOG] Long live our new Communications Minister

[Andrew Kitchen]

Look I agree with you I think as stubborn as Tony Abbott is and considering he doesn’t have a clue about the benefits the NBN will bring if done properly I think Malcolm’s hands have been tied in this area.  Getting the budget back to surplus, stopping the boats, welfare reform, university reforms etc were all the policies of the Abbott government.  I think this bad policy was what Malcolm had to work with…. He is a very bright man and I hope that we see a shift in this area and quickly…. I hope however this won’t cause further delay with the rollout technically it shouldn’t they are working with a fibre to the node model even if we see a two stage roll out node first then premises next as some copper is in good standing so it will do for the moment however in areas where the copper has had it (like older areas or coastal areas) then it needs to be replaced now….

Regards

Andrew

I still wonder how much of Turnbull's poor performance as communications manager was under direction from Abbott, and whether we may see some changes after the change of leadership.  I just don't think someone with his legal, business and comms background (as much as his comms background could well have been in the legal/business side of things) thought that some of the policies he was pushing forward were any good.  I wouldn't put it past him that he was happy to push stupid policy in the name of destabilising the leadership of the time...

There's also the chance that he *could* retain the portfolio (or return to it, given he gave it up yesterday as part of announcing his intention to challenge).

Back on topic, are there any decent candidates for the Communications Portfolio, I know *on paper* Turnbull had the best credentials, does anyone else stand out who could be competent with the portfolio? We don't need another Conroy or Minchin...
