First line from Albo should be – If it wasn’t for labor the coalition wouldn’t have a broadband policy at all, let alone a second rate one …
I hope a technically minded person is across this debate.
I also hope that Albanese raises topics like:
* The number of nodes required to guarantee a level of service (download and upload)
* Maintenance costs
* Increased electricity costs
* Cost to upgrade to fibre
* Cost to buy copper from Telstra
* Percentage of homes with perfect copper
* Flexibility to add free Government services for rich and poor
* Does their cost include work to date?
I also hope he outlines that NBN is more than just the internet and points to ideas and schemes that go beyond YouTube and HD video.
I bet Labor will stick to the theme they feel comfortable with, keep mentioning the ‘decrepit copper’ and FoD will ‘cost ya heaps’, any anti-Coalition point scoring beyond that is a bit of a struggle.
Subjects to avoid at all costs, the Fibre part of Fibre to the Node, successful mixed rollouts of FTTN and FTTP infrastructures alongside each other overseas, and comparative costs and speed of rollouts FTTN vs FTTP.

FTFY.
Subjects to bring up; ROI as a competitive network, instead of a monopoly.
I’d also like Albo to ask Malcolm why he thinks Telstra will “gift” the copper to him, considering Telstra didn’t actually negotiate that in the current deal. Telstra has shareholders, they can’t just give shit away just because Malcolm wants it…
Well actually renai you would’ve heard it on twitter first :P
I’m a little concerned… I think that Turnbull is going to come away from this a lot better than he should despite his inferior solution, because he understands the fine details (and can lie through his teeth because of them) and has confident delivery, while Albo… Albo’s “not a tech head” after all.
I hope Albo’s been doing his research and getting well-briefed on the NBN, but let’s face it, both Conroy and Turnbull developed their mastery of their portfolios over years, while Albo’s only had a few weeks. Since Albo’s the one sending the challenge, I hope he’s got a good game plan.
Just a side note, I’ve never actually watched a Press Club debate, is it well-moderated or are we going to see Turnbull talking over and attempting to bully down his opponent once again, for the nth time?
Came here to post same concerns. Turnbull is a snake, but a very intelligent one, with decent technical knowledge, and knows both his and Labor’s policies inside out by now. Albanese is a convincing politician and I’m sure his NBN knowledge is rapidly growing, but he might fumble or resort to repetition of vague one liners, if pressed too hard on technical details. I’m a bit nervous about this one, but it will certainly be interesting to watch.
In terms of moderation they get to speak uninterrupted for a certain period of time, then give a closing response etc. Its very professionally run.
Okay, that’s good then, that disarms at least one of the pages in his playbook. Will definitely be one to watch. Renai, you’ll keep us updated? ;)
Pretty sure Albo’s challenge was on “Infrastructure”. I’d hope Malcolm’s brushed up on his “rail and roads” if he wants to go in to bat, otherwise he’ll be the one to look like a dick…
What do you mean? From that tweet it seems like Albo’s challenging Turnbull to an NBN debate, and using Turnbull as a messenger boy to carry his challenge to Warren Truss for an infrastructure debate.
Maybe they could host it in the FOXSports studios with holograms and vritual Juliars.
I hope the ALP champion Australian data centres, and, capability of the NBN to provide an in-Australian cloud. That, hopefully, the American imperialists would have less access to.
