Coalition missteps on NBN budget savings
news The Federal Opposition has again incorrectly alleged that it could save money by cutting the Labor Federal Government’s multi-billion dollar National Broadband Network project, despite financial projections which show the project is likely to make the Government billions.
The NBN is not listed in the Federal Budget as an expense because it is technically a government investment and will consequently not divert money away from other projects. This accounting technique has been verified by economists from the Parliamentary Library of Australia as an “internationally accepted accounting standard”.
In addition, in the long term, NBN Co’s projections show the network is slated to make a return of between 5.3 percent and 8.8 percent on the up to $44.6 billion that will be invested in the network — meaning it will return an amount ranging from $1.93 billion to $3.92 billion, as well as delivering Australia a fibre optic telecommunications network to replace Telstra’s aging copper infrastructure.
