On reading both the articles properly, the thing that struck me was that journalism in this country has gone to the dogs.
The delimiter was really just a rehash of the zdnet article. I hope delimiter aren't paying that 'journalist' too much.
The zdnet article simply reports on what was said at a Budget Estimates Committee. Where is the analysis? Did the perpetrator of this article think to ask NBNCo or Turnbull's office about why the deal to access the Umina exchange was only completed last week? Is the explanation reasonable or specious? The NBNCo states that it can't discriminate between service providers and this is a matter for the government. How about asking NBNCo whether it had asked the government to change the laws? If not, why not? What is the government going to do about it?
Without asking these sort of questions, the opinion in both articles is worth slightly less than the toilet paper I used this morning.
The line trying to link the delays the last government faced and the delays this government is facing is utter tosh as the issues are evidently different. Concluding that this government is also facing delays, without any attempt to understand the delays and why they occurred, with the insinuation that this government is no better than the last is just garbage journalism. If you are going to go down that path, map out the delays each government faced and why it did or did not respond properly rather than throw a handful of facts up in he air, with minimal context, and assume that they will land in a pattern that demonstrates governmental incompetence.
