The purpose of this post was to highlight the huge social cost of inept governance, and secondly that those guilty of making poor decisions should be held personally accountable.
It is crystal clear the only parties that have benefited from the NBN were those Pollies who maintained the "big seats" for a term. Why shouldn't those who benefited be held responsible, why shouldn't we as TaxPayers insist that they help recover some of the horrendous cost of the NBN?
The Social Cost of the NBN is appalling, what programs could have been started, what infrastructure projects could have been completed? I believe at $50 billion we could have had a VFT running North-South on the Eastern Seaboard.
50 Billion (or the NBN) is a "bad debt" generational in size.

Hi David,
I'm pretty sure Gary has explained before that this is a user funded model rather than a tax-payer funded model. So there shouldn't be an enormous burden on the taxpayer as you might reasonably think.
