That is the scary truth. A LOT of "Joe and Joanne Average" believe it is the government paying for the NBN. How wrong could they be. Then again, a lot do not even realise what their taxation is for (that's IF they pay it, seeing how now the Tax Free Threshold was put WAAAAAAAAAY up under the Labor Government...
more vote buying). Of course, we all moan about paying tax, but where exactly will the govenment otherwise get revenue... oh, that darned Emissions Trading Scheme...
When I worked in aviation, I paid $0.47 / dollar tax. Yes, almost half my wage went to the government to spend on frivolous things such as an non-essential NBN. Even though I paid almost half my weekly wage to the government for 15 years, when I decided to change jobs, the government REFUSED to give me ANY social security, nor my wife, for 3 years thanks to the bank account I had and the assets I had (still have). So, I contributed to everyone else's, but they won't give me one cent. Not even a health care card. Zilch. Rob the "rich" to pay the poor, and give them fast internet.
No, I didn't vote Labor nor LNP, so don't go judging me there either
