> There is no excuse for deploying fibre-to-the-node in 2007 Which was exactly the finding of Telstra's own internal investigations in 2005 and the reason why the FTTN tender process was set aside by the Labor government in 2008. The destruction of the fibre-to-the-premises rollout is so achingly wrongheaded. It's an example of politicians clearly, directly lying on numerical, objective criteria – getting called out about their deception on a regular basis by the opposition, media and senate and clearly failing to meet their targets at every level – and there being precisely zero consequences despite the waste of some $40 billion of public funds. If politics were working properly, the person responsible would be in jail. Instead, he got promoted to Prime Minister.
