  • Scott Ludlum is clearly the most articulate and experienced in his debate about these technologies.

  • What a refreshing change to hear a 3-way debate with the Greens running rings around both Labour and Liberal speakers. No wonder they are excluded from debates as they are the only ones who make clear, intelligent and relevant sense.Thank you Scott for standing up for the most important issues with a WORKABLE solution

  • Conroy reminds me of Heinrich Himmler, don't like either much.

  • A smart grid is imperative in a carbon restrained economy. The speed is not such a factor as reliability and ownership. The government have to own the fibre backbone and regulate data through it. It is time for an infrastructure overhaul in this area.

    In China there was a rally organised largely through social media. I visited just after this happened and found Facebook, YouTube, Twitter etc blocked. We found our way through the filter using proxies and programs. China can't block how can OZ?

  • I'm surprised at you all, how could you not see Mr Smith's package as a payoff to Telstra to maintain the status quo err I mean revolutionary package to maintain the status quo

  • @ruckyboy he did.

    >: \

    are you going to accuse our politicians of not knowing basic terminology in their portfolio?

  • @ruckyboy Ummm im pretty sure they said backBONE, this is refering to the fibre optic cables that connect each node to eachother.

  • The thing is, if Labor get in it is a win for all Australian's as we will all get a state of the art broadband network. They most likely won't have the majority in the senate, therefore the greens and the Libs will vote the filter down. It's win, win for everyone. People should be responsible for censoring their own computers, not the government... unless we live in China.

  • No internet filter ? that just won my vote

  • Tony Smith: "Oh, well we support a return to 1950s values, including the relevant approach to broadband technology..."

    Great job Sen. Ludlam - you whipped both Smith and Conroy in this debate.

  • How is it that Australia's 'communications' minister is the most illiterate and incapable of the three? The irony is sickening.

    Ludlam completely spanked these two clowns.
