Malcolm Turnbull has admitted his government is presiding over a muti billion dollar lemon. In what should have been state of the art internet for all Australia, the Coalition Government in its wisdom chose to use out dated technology in the form of copper phone wire to connect the NBN to consumers, both residential and business. What a disaster the government has created, instead of going with Labors choice of the more advanced fiber optic cable, which would have done the job, the choice of old copper wire is unfortunately not up to the task, and unable to deliver the necessary internet speed required. The Governments NBN disaster is costing billions, and for what? The worlds most expensive ‘lemon'. Malcolm Turnbull as Communications Minister before becoming Prime Minister, was the engine driver in charge of the train as it headed for an almighty crash. The only words of comfort Turnbull could offer the poor suffering Aussie taxpayers who are footing the bill for the governments incompetence was this bit of gobbly goop; "As I often used to say, (I don't know who to) in the words of the Irish barman when asked for directions to Dublin, 'If I were you I wouldn't be starting from here'" If you were going to Dublin you certainly would not be asking Turnbull for direction, you would end up in Mongolia!

Australia's train journeys don't start from here but in the basket case next to Malcolm's SSM and Quick Death agenda. Money is shooting out of Treasury for reports , studies and photos of real fast ones.
Taiwan High Speed Rail is a high-speed rail line that runs approximately 349 km at 300km/h.
Japan 2,765 km of lines with maximum speeds of 320 km/h .
Australia's operate at a high of 160 km/h in passenger service and are a wreck for OH&S regulations and to boost funding for highway car-wrecks which are imported.

Yep if the Liberals had an ounce of sense they would of scrapped Rudd/Gillards idiotic plan for nbn. Why Liberals thought they needed to fund such an idiotic promise defies belief. The next trainwreck will be NDIS. The debt piles up while the education system continues to decay but at least we can say Gonski. Drain the swamp!

runner - The NDIS is not the next train wreck it is a current one.

Juliar Dillard, remember how important it was to have it, where is she now she won't even come out and support it, because she knows it is an extremely expensive train wreck.

You can't expect anything governments do to be much good. They cannot even attend to their core responsibilities,let alone business where profit is the motive for success.

Just as Turnbull stuffed up worse than the man he accused of being no good, he has buggered up the NBN that he rubbished Labor for. Even so, he is still blaming Labor for the crurrent situation, which is a big rough after he has had 'control' going on for one and a half terms in government

Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), has some broadband infrastructure, including fiber optic links between major institutions. Kim "Surfer" Jong-Un is willing to talk to Malcolm but not that Julie woman with expert advice on solving political enemies of the net .
