"Send in the clowns....DON'T BOTHER, THEY'RE HERE."

Our Dog Leader

I rarely touch on politics in this Blog, but this is going to be an intensely political year, both here and in the Great Republic, and things are getting outrageous so, here goes:

Fresh from the people who brought you the Pink Batts Fiasco (aging rocker as Minister,Billions of Dollars down the drain, numerous houses destroyed by fire, and several workmen tragically killed). and followed it with Building Education Fiasco ( treacherous red headed female minister,tens of billions down the drain, unwanted buildings crowding school yards, State School rip-offs) ....comes the NATIONAL BROADBAND FIASCO beating all previous records for disaster!

Consider  the numbers:

Number of Employees:     900

Number of Clients:           4000  (4.4 per staff member!)

Average Staff Salary: $166,000 p.a.

Average Travel Costs : $ 7,500 per Employee

NBN Cost so far :  $1 Billion ( $49 to 59 Billion to be spent)

Cost per connection so far : $ 250,000

Our Clown Government, led by the Mad Pink Hatter, has steadfastly refused to do a cost : benefit analysis study on the NBN - NO WONDER!

Polls show surging opposition to this FIASCO .

For once Malcolm Turnbull in doing this research has stuck to his job and become a team player. And we can be grateful to Christopher Pearson at THE AUSTRALIAN for shining a light on it even in the silly season of Sport.
