MEDIA RELEASE - MALCOLM TURNBULL'S LATEST EMBARRASSING NBN STUFF UP - THURSDAY, 29 SEPTEMBER 2016

28 September 2016

It just goes from bad to ridiculous for Malcolm Turnbull and his second-rate NBN.

Now we have damning evidence Malcolm Turnbull has been perpetrating fraud on the Australian people.

For the past four years Malcolm Turnbull has travelled the country lecturing anyone with a pulse about the virtues of his multi-technology-mess.

Yet now we hear of the latest backflip from the Government. NBN has ditched the Optus HFC network it paid $800 million for and will instead connect 700,000 customers to FTTdp.

This confirms what everyone already knew – that the HFC network was a lemon and could not deliver the broadband speeds and quality Australians expect and deserve.

Again this shows that every assumption made by Malcolm Turnbull in formulating his second-rate NBN has been proven wrong.  NBN Co has now conceded that upgrading the Optus HFC network would have been too expensive and taken too long.

More time, more cost, more delays. Now, Turnbull has another embarrassing NBN stuff up to add to the list.
