Comments on: So Hockey Loves The NBN Then? http://michaelwyres.com/2012/08/so-hockey-loves-the-nbn-then/ musings of a geek Tue, 21 May 2013 10:44:00 +0000 hourly 1 By: Michael Wyres http://michaelwyres.com/2012/08/so-hockey-loves-the-nbn-then/#comment-725 Michael Wyres Fri, 10 Aug 2012 11:31:00 +0000 http://michaelwyres.com/?p=6142#comment-725 I’m not saying the government is “right” on the gold plating issue, but specifically Joe said that there’s nothing wrong with spending big money on essential infrastructure, where he has previously indicated otherwise via his NBN comments.

The difference is the price increases for electricity over the past few years cannot be fully accredited to infrastructure upgrades.

Labor criticise gold plating on energy infrastructure, but not for NBN?

Unfortunately Hockey is incapable of thinking beyond the next 12 months (and has the technical knowledge of a wombat) so the NBN probably ranks fairly low on his “essential shit we should build” list.
