Then we should be spending $400,000,000,000 - nothing but the best.

Fact is, as with anything, there reaches a point when spending more isn't 
worth the benefit.

$40,000,000,000 is a lot of money - it could build 20 hospitals. It could go 
a long way to fixing traffic conjestion in Sydney, Melbourne and especially 
Brisbane.

We keep hearing about (things like) how the NBN will aid medicine with 
remote diagnoses. What's the point if your diagnoses says you must get to 
hospital imediately, but you die in a a traffic jam in the abmbulance 
because the roads are stuffed?

$40,000,000,000 so people can download movies, porn and play games faster - 
no thanks.

I agree that the system needs fixing, but I object to the government shoving 
a $40b one size fits all solution down my throat.

$10b tops, and I'll be on board.
