Last night 🎶🎸
We are leaving but it's hard to go
To my land where #Murdoch rules the waves, the waves, the waves
Political hypocrisy & banality have their way
The homeless & the poor are told that ' resilience' is the way
The middle class shrinks everyday
Gigged away,away🎶/2 Image
The Bankers have it all their way
The Uber Rich want you on two dollars an hour
Everyday it's bullshit showers
When you ask, ask ask away
Some troll jumps in your way
Selling the lies that it's good to die for 🇦🇺🇬🇧and the US of A.
Because that is the Gallipoli way
We buy subs/3
That are 30 years away
To protect trade routes from our major trading partner🎶
We are leaving but it's hard to go
& save utility costs whilst the monies flow, to tax havens galore
And the kids haven't got a chance
To buy a home for their families coz Austrack is loopholed/3

[A Thread] My observations on @TurnbullMalcolm at the #RobodebtRC: Turnbull as PM proved to be completely spineless as Party leader and National leader. He was probably Australia's most disappointing PM. Because he lacked courage. #auspol 1/5
Leaders need courage. They need to do the right thing, even if it is not the popular thing, and that takes courage. Ask @DanielAndrewsMP - he has courage in spades and used every bit of it during the pandemic. #RobodebtRC #auspol 2/5
The first real public glimpse of Turnbull's invertebrate nature was seen when he stood on stage with @HonTonyAbbott announcing the destruction of the #FTTP #NBN. His body language said he knew this was wrong, but had to follow orders. #RobodebtRC #auspol 3/5

Thread: I'm pursuing ABC corruption starting with today's NSW ICAC submission. 1st part is the unequivocal fact that @bbelsham & ABC management withheld this crucial #NBN article from public & pollies before 2013 election for corrupt reasons abc.net.au/technology/art… #abc90 #auspol
The next concerns how Sally Cray, @turnbullmalcolm's Chief of Staff, was employed at the ABC & repeatedly threw me under the bus to MSM. Shortly after the 2013 election, she returned to be Turnbull's Chief of Staff. Did she ever leave? What else did she do? #auspol #abc90
After @carolduncan asked me for questions to ask @turnbullmalcolm about #NBN (who was routinely slamming Labor unchallenged on @abcaustralia radio stations at that time), she was promptly fired and her job quickly readvertised. Carol has more to say on this #abc90 #auspol

The Federal Government has been accused of a monumental policy backflip with its announcement of a multi-billion dollar #NBN upgrade. It comes after years of defending its mixed-technology model. #abc730 @DanConifer #auspol
Ian Iredale is still waiting for #NBN to be connected to his property on the outskirts of Sydney. “The promised connection dates are have been shifting backwards, continually. And only on this weekend, the internet went back a further three months.” #abc730 #auspol
“For those who do want blazing fast broadband that will now be an option for a much larger number of people.” @PaulFletcherMP #abc730 #NBN #auspol

NBN structure means those who can afford the least pay the most. #abc730 @Ally__bee #auspol abc.net.au/news/2020-06-3…
A Government report on the cost of telecommunications has found that while NBN prices have fallen, low-income households still can’t afford to sign up. #abc730 #auspol
The report also found the way telcos bundle plans means those who can spend more get the best value for money, while “low income consumers who buy cheaper low data plans are therefore paying a higher cost per unit of data”. #abc730 #auspol #NBN

#StayAtHome, that is the message from authorities and health workers. But with adults trying to #WorkFromHome, children studying and others looking for entertainment, the #NBN is coming under severe strain. #abc730 #coronavirus #COVID19Aus
“I’ve found myself sharing my home office and data with my daughter who is home from uni now doing her university degree online and my partner also operates a small business and he’s often online at night doing the books.” Kim Goldsmith. #abc730 #coronavirus #WFH #NBN

#onlinelearning is taking off (of necessity) and lots of great info out there. Here is a presentation I did a couple of years back

My focus here was on the idea, not the tech

THREAD 1: BASIC PRINCIPLES
As we make this raid ad hoc transition, it is important to think what we are NOT doing Image
Many people are worried about online learning, and how it may affect future teaching - is this the thin edge of the wedge?

From my experience the impact is likely to be the opposite Image

When I first switched to the #NBN, I was sceptical. HFC doesn't exactly have the best reputation, after all; Who wouldn't be? There was also the fact that @NBN_Australia delayed my rollout for a year over HFC quality issues. Hmm...
Installation appointment day rolled around and ... nope. Nobody turned up. No phone call, no SMS, no nothing; I had cleared by calendar of meetings and stayed home for a day on the expectation that I might not have internet access, and NBNco was a no-show. Not a great start.
The rescheduled appointment @NBN_Australia offered was in the gap between Anzac Day and Easter. If they'd already offered the excuse that they were "resource constrained" for the first no-show, why on earth would they reschedule for a week when everyone's on leave? Fool me once?

Why is your network so fundamentally hopeless, @NBN_Australia? Why, when *your* Arris cable model resets several times per day, do you need RSPs to do the legwork for investigation and fault-finding? Why don't you have your own telemetry about how bad your access network is? #nbn
@NBN_Australia You, @NBN_Australia, have a complete holistic picture of your complete HFC cable network plant. But you let repeated long-run faults linger basically forever, shunting the responsibility back on RSPs, when it's OBVIOUSLY your problem to fix, your fault.
@NBN_Australia What does it take in Australia to make the authority which is in charge of national broadband deliver a reliable broadband service? What the hell is wrong with you people? Why aren't you logging telemetry, monitoring trends, being proactive about faults?
