Independent Senator, Nick Xenophon, has praised the Government for releasing the NBN Co business case summary and said it wouldn’t have happened without the Prime Minister’ s intervention.

The NBN oversight Bill proposed by Shadow Communications Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, has failed to pass in the House of Representatives.

Former Treasurer, Peter Costello, has launched a scathing attack on the National Broadband Network (NBN), branding it “the National boondoggle Network”.

Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy, has underscored his support for Labor’s controversial mandatory internet filtering scheme in a heated debate on the ABC’s Q&A program with representatives of the public, the Coalition, the Australian Sex Party and more.

Newly appointed Shadow Communications Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, has experience in the dial-up business, not the broadband industry, according to Communications Minister, Senator Stephen Conroy.

Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, says one of Malcolm’s roles as the new Shadow Communications Minister will be to expose problems with Labor’s National Broadband Network project with the aim of wooing independent MPs back to the Coalition’s camp.

The dust has started to settle and Australians can finally breathe – two of the independent MPs, Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott, have chosen the ALP and Julia Gillard as Prime Minister.

A member of the splinter group opposing the Labor Government’s fibre-centric National Broadband Network (NBN) said the close election results signal more research is needed for the $43 billion project.
