Should the Australian government continue to invest billions of dollars into the development of the National Broadband Network?

Rich Western cointries should be investing money to help poorer countries instead of moving forward and forgetting about those in need

In a science where technology advances are inevitable, why would we commit to a project which will almost certainly be outdated by the time it is rolled out. This is a massive land area we are trying to cover. Wireless has to be the way forward.

Again more fraud in the government and businesses taking advantage of stupid politicians. The massive blowout with almost no accountability is absurd. I say privatise only because governments these days lack the capability to do government works effectively. We can't even build roads, almost all major roads recently have been done privately and now we pay toll. Just another tax on the people this will be the same. so sad.

should have been privatised from the beginning.

Only major hubs which need to be connected should be tax payer funded. Profitable areas should be rolled out by private companies to increase the rate of the roll out and the quality as there is more competition. Government should subsidise the rollout in less profitable areas.

Not billions, but yes a certain amount of money as broadcasting networks is where we get our news and entertainment from
