Anything to get rid of the stupid Rudd/Gillard plan.

$40,000,000,000 plus? Look at Blighs Qld Health payroll system. Supposed to 
cost $50,000,000, blew out to $70,000,000, now they say it's going to cost 
$240,000,000 to fix!

The cost is too great. The government has no right to impose a "one size 
fits all" NBN system on everyone. $40,000,000,000 on a system that can't 
guarantee the speeds they're talking about for everyone - no thanks.
