Two weeks ago I emailed Malcolm Turnbull to get details on the Coalition’s broadband policy & have yet to hear back. Due to his inability to answer the questions within an acceptable timeframe I am now force to publish the letter with no reply. It’s a sad day when even the basics of a policy…
Over the past week Malcolm Turnbull has made some very misleading, to the point of deliberate deception, statements on both the cost of connecting to the NBN & the rollout footprint of the Coalition’s FTTN plan.
