NBN Tasmania launch
Last Thursday morning, the National Broadband Network was officially launched in Tasmania by Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Communications Minister Stephen Conroy and Tasmanian Premier David Bartlett.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard has set a goal of having 12 per cent of Australian Public Service (APS) workers regularly telework by 2020.
Opposition communications spokesperson Malcolm Turnbull has again slammed the National Broadband Network (NBN) as overpriced with too much government intervention, saying that China has a more competitive broadband market than Australia thanks to the project.
The NBN will enable more people to "work where they live", according to Prime Minister Julia Gillard, who attended the opening of the NBN Co network on the mainland in Armidale today where the home work possibilities were showcased at length.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard has pledged to continue the build of the National Broadband Network (NBN) in the face of the Queensland flood disasters, which the Treasury this week estimated would yield a repair bill of up to $5.6 billion.
Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, is yet to receive advice as to whether the publishing of US embassy cables has breached any Australian law.
