Telstra will be providing access to their ducting, which will help a lot. Nextgen are currently building fibre backhaul from Brisbane to Darwin, and north from Perth. So it isn't just Telstra. Matt.

I think this is a very crucial point most "pro" refugee supporters seem to ignore. You give up your status as a bona fide refugee the moment you by-pass the nearest safe country. 100% of the people who enter Australia as "refugees" are doing so illegally, and are nothing more that queue jumpers. -- Regards, Noddy.

You were both conned by the political opportunists and their spin doctors! :) Labor didn't initially oppose the Vietnam war. Being the Opposition at the time they had the luxury of changing their policy in order to win votes from those who did, and well after the anti-war/anti-conscription movement had built up a significant support base. Had Labor been the Government at the time of our initial involvement they probably would've done exactly what the Libs did. By the time the Whitlam Government "brought our boys home" (and subsequently shat upon 'em) American was doing the same. -- John H |
