[AusNOG] The new Minister for Communications is Senator Mitch Fifield

[Paul Wallace]

Conroy nationalised telecoms.

Nationalising industries is what communist countries do.

Consequently and subsequently we've seen extensive rationalisation of the players in our industry via M&As ... followed by repeated shrill criticism of those mergers by members of this list.

The coalition is now complicit as well .. they originally stated their intentions to wind the nbn down, or to sell it off or similar but then back flipped.

A complete disgrace.

Perspective. There would have been no NBN without Conroy or Lundy before him.  We had nothing and no hope before that.

Unlikely to be worse than Conroy though.


Conroy - the worlds only economist who doesn't need or want a business case before spending $100 billion!
