NBN...

very pleased to hear that...but the cost???
For that sort of dosh, it had better work, too.
Being (dumb) and happy with what Ive got..not sure I can afford twice the speed for quadruple the cost or whatever.

With techo stuff advancing so rapidly...like the camera you buy today is already "obsolete"...next model around the corner, etc. Same with aircraft electronics and systems, no doubt.
So when are we going to get them, to fly/play with then..??
And I'm sure the boys and girls in blue will give it their best shot to stop them coming back to earth wrongly...as they do.

Dopey OZ should be putting $$s into agile, fighter UAVs..using the excellent techo skills of the smart electronics and aeronautical folk who do exist in this country. Buy Australian! Innovate.? Que?
Oh sorry, we're just a little ally, here take our money
Are the F 35s something we just have to have...regardless of the cost.?
IMHO..NO
