Oh, the irony! Malcolm Turnbull <i>paid</i> Telstra for the copper networks so that the government could own them again. He did this so that nobody else could get fibre to the home.<p>I feel a bit sorry for him. He was forced into this by Tony &quot;Shirt-front&quot; Abbott, who knew nothing about technology (or how to run a country, for that matter). Now he&#x27;s stuck with it - a millstone around our new Prime Minister&#x27;s neck.<p>I guess the intense destabilization and white-anting now going on in the LNP will distract from this.
