Re: The BIG problem for the government
Th area of legals around telecommunications has grown into a monster almost as bad the tax act. Thanks to lunatic lawmakers and rogue politicians.
After the Barrister and the boof-head tore up the legal work to date, cancel the 'last mile of fibre' (and it's associated fibre back-hauls), they invited their mates to a massive party thrown with taxpayer funds.
I wouldn't be surprised if half the cost of the NBN to date or even overall has been admin and lawyers. That'd be a tragedy. The project should have been something like 90% engineering and implementation, 5% administration & support, and no more than 5% admin and legals, given the mess we have to date should be thrown out along with every last piece of copper.
No wonder they have failed to setup support, and are proving unable to handle rudimentary troubles as they arise.
