A little bit of context
The
Liberal/National coalition proposed a National fibre broadband infrastructure
for Australia in 2005, and did nothing about it in the next four years. After
losing the 2010 election, Australians were presented with a visionary FTTP
(Fibre to the Premises) plan. In 2013 the coalition to change it to nbn(Tm) using
the ends of the old inadequate copper phone lines that continue to cause lots of problems.
Here’s what we’re doing about it
We are
running a web site ('BetterOzInternet.org') which explains why we want to get
support for a petition, on change.org xxxxxxxxxxx , against the further rollout of the
'copper network'.
Using
print, radio and the web, we want to see a return to an 'all fibre
network' (where possible) that will restore our future prospects of being a
world leader in telecommunications and, more importantly, allow our 'innovative
technology' expertise to continue boosting our national wealth and prosperity
and assist other nations to benefit likewise.
You can join us
Initially,
we are looking for $200,000 (for federal 25 seats at $8,000 each) to kick start
a modest literature/press advertising campaign in key (swinging) seats.
And here’s some amazing perks for supporting us
that you can’t live without
The most
amazing 'perk' that we can offer is that "everyone can do whatever they
want on the internet" in decades to come, without let or hindrance from
the mish mash of technologies that are now proving to be a headache for nbn(tm)
to manage, while at the time the costs are increasing rapidly, and the end
result will be very little sooner than FTTP, if at all.
Our strategy.
Our strategy.
Specifically to Target Low margin seats (<10%), retiring MPs, Independents, and Broadly, all senate seats - particularly if a DD occurs. (21 lower house seats need to be lost if the government is to be replaced).
1.
LNP seats with low margins in 2013. (Highest priority - with a 3:1
weighting to the lowest priority seat within our target range, particularly if there was a large swing to the LNP.)
2.
Independent candidates, seats of retiring sitting members, ‘minor party’ etc. (that favour FTTP!)
3.
ALP – low
margins in 2013. ( 2:1 weighting.)
4.
Party leaders/front bench members and senators.
5. Senate seats (State)
6.
Party organisers (Presidents, sec’y etc.)
