As for The coalition policy. It's all crap easier to fill the holes in internet service with a decent satellite or 3/4G service. Put the whole dam thing in the private sector and watch the price go up but the service improve. It's called competition and whats more it works.
User pays. Download your porn and pay dearly for it.
I don't want either of the 2 networks.

Not just your wording Hagar. I am not kidding when I say that a former comms minister made that statement, it was around the time of the introduction of ADSL when uptake was poor due to ridiculous prices but people were making noise about actually wanting it. Thanks in good part to out policy settings of competition and letting the market decide. I would argue your point that competition is the cure for all our ills. 20 years of it has left us with high prices and piss poor connectivity everywhere except where the "competition" has cherry picked a big profit area and lovely anti competitive tricks from the incumbent. Competition policy for anything but mobiles has been a bit fat failure in Aus and the big T still makes the great majority of ally he profit in the industry.
And if you would like to get all sorts of reasonable people's noses out of joint, intimating that we might be sexual predators because we actually want a broadband connection that works quickly and reliably is a pretty good way to do it.
Whichever network gets built, no one will be forcing you to have a connection to it. If you don't want it, vote with your feet.
