With respect, nah, not really. I mean, yeah the LNP fucked us over royally with the NBN. But even the original NBN was mostly a plan to catch up with what the rest of the developed world already had. It wasn't an example of us leading the world.

Liberals: "You dont need fiber to the premises, OUR version will be cheaper and quicker."
Narrator: it was not cheaper, or completed earlier and the speeds are worse.

Libs: "also we bought a shitload of fucked copper back off Telstra, who then laughed all the way to the bank"
