Australians who live in remote areas are ordering Starlink at almost 3x the rate they order NBN. Apparently, the downtime of NBN is much higher than Starlink. It is so bad that the taxpayer funded company has just outright stopped producing number reports.

Just as some claim to support "democracy" with their own characteristics, this "transparency" with Australian characteristics I suppose.

A reminder that if a private company grabs the best and brightest, those best and brightest will succeed for that company. Innovation is Musks middle name and this is just yet another example.

Instead of the far-left who love activists over STEM graduates (China has 4.7M STEM grads compared to 600k in the U.S for the record), they should encourage technology innovations and embrace men like Musk.


Shadow Communications Minister David Coleman discusses how Elon Musk's Starlink is turning Australia's homegrown NBN into a "white elephant".

"The NBN is getting smashed by Elon Musk, and it's creating embarrassing headlines for the NBN," Mr Coleman told Sky News host Sharri Markson.

"Its satellite business is collapsing; it's also lost 80,000 customers from traditional homes, what they call brownfields business, and so what the NBN has now done is stop publishing a report that has existed for a decade.

"This from a government that was supposedly all about and integrity, that is a disgrace, and the report has to be reinstated."

G'ment bureaucracies = failure. Private enterprise = success!
