[AusNOG] Long live our new Communications Minister

[Paul Wallace]

Far too harsh mark.

That's like suggesting we've done something wrong by only investing millions or billions of dollars in telecoms infrastructure and that we deserve abuse for not rolling out a private version of the nbn.

If someone had of sufficient girth had emerged earlier on,seeking to do that they'd have been accused of cherry picking. Surely a monopoly is worse than that?
