Remember when this man...

Remember when this man, who set up strategies to ensure that Australia was the only country in the world that made it through the Global Financial Crisis completely intact, and who promised a nationwide broadband network with super-fast speeds that would cost approximately 31 billion U.S. dollars, was stabbed in the proverbial back by his own political party, after which his party lost the election to a government that offered a heavily "watered down" national broadband internet network...

... and, 9 years later, the NBN Corporation working on this inferior network, had to be "bailed out" by the same government that offered the "watered down" version, to the tune of over 14 billion U.S. dollars, causing the single-worst infrastructure disaster in this nation's history...

... while a significant proportion of households in rural areas have to put up with approximately 5mbit connections and frequent disruptions (with a permanent latency of about 0.6 seconds because, you know, SATELLITE)?

i miss rudd sometimes

The only reason we made it through GFC without a recession was China

...

blame that cunt gillard

>implying we didn't make it through GFC on Howards surplus

>large scale gibsmedats saved the country
>literally tax money from the the working class given to the unemployed
>$31b is nothing goy trust me
This is reddit levels of retardation.

Do you have any fucking idea how much $31b is? How many million times is that higher than your tax per year, if any? You can combine all of the major NSW transport infrastructure projects right now and still wouldn't amount to that much, and we're in an infrastructure boom. You fucking niggers don't give a fuck if Labor turns us third world as long as you get your CentreLink welfare and muh internet speedz so I can play online vidyas faster. This is all you niggers care about.

You don't have any idea how spread out our measly ~25m population is do ya? Do you have any idea how labor-intensive the work is, especially when all your workers are unionised trash who would see the country burn as long as they get their extra """productivity""" payments despite being lazy cunts? You think we can compete with large scale spending when we have a tiny fraction of the US GDP?

You fucking leftist 1/128 aboriginal cuck, gas yourself with 91 octane you faggot.

But Canada made it through fine despite extreme interdependance with the US.

We lowered inflation so much we caused a property bubble tho.

How many times you gotta post this OP?

Im starting to wonder if OP is actually Kevin 'where the fucks me hair dryer cunt?' oh Seven.

Also he did shit economically, about 10 countries made it through the Gfc largely unscathed. And without making billions direct from China. Which was pissed up against the wall anyway.

lowered interest rates I mean, I'm tired.

This faggot also wanted every schoolchild to be taught chinese in school, wanted everyone to prepare for the gook invasion.
Look at those little chinky eyes.

The fact that it led to the totally unacceptable assassination of based tones is the truly horrifying part.

>"surplus"
>sold 70 tonnes of gold at pathetic prices, to help create it
>sold Telstra to help create it
>sold the Commonwealth Bank to help create it
>ripped the heart out of aged care, mental health care and subsidies to help struggling farmers get through the worst drought in the nation's history
>"buh-buh-but muh surplus"

... and yet, the cost of the Liberals' "watered-down" NBN has blown out to more than 33 billion U.S. dollars, has not yet been completed, has cost Australia 8.8 billion Australian dollars in net-worth AND has blown out the "sovereign risk" of this country, meaning foreign investors laugh at what was a genuine first-world nation under Hawke's rule.

You libcucks aren't even a joke. At least a joke amuses people.

>Gypsy land romania can afford to lay fiber everywhere half a century ago for gigabit connection and doesn't charge a small fortune for it while ausfalia is stuck with somalia tier internet.
Really makes me think.

>half a century
Kek, I'm out of it tonight, meant half a decade.

>And for sure the Labor would have employed completely different people and would have delivered the project under budget and ahead of schedule!

This is how you reveal yourself to be an unemployed welfare leech, no understanding of the bigger and wider things.

>muh librul NBN doesn't let me load up muh cuck porn faster
>fuck the whole country and the need for more cost-effective things amirite guise xD here link 4u to prove how much u should be downvoted

Let me guess, you're from Melbourne

>who set up strategies to ensure that Australia was the only country in the world that made it through the Global Financial Crisis completely intact
having an established private iron ore industry isn't a government strategy idiot

Awesome retort. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued rebuttals with any new progress arguments or v-logs. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can refute me. Thanks for the motivation.

Not an argument drongo.

Funny, that. I've already laid out my solid, thick and tight argument. Air-tight, actually. With backup arguments because, you know, I like to rub my superiority in peoples' faces.

The greatest Prime Minister this nation ever had, was stabbed in the back first by his cabinet, and then by inept Liberals who've been dragging this once-beautiful nation through the mud for the last twenty years.

It's quite hilarious, really.

Did Kevin start paying people to make these fucking threads in the hope he can get rid of Shorten and then run as PM?

My grandad knows him personally
Well, knew him
Grandad was chairman of a prominent credit union so he was pretty clued up and well connected with a lot of wealthy people

Apparently kevvo is a really nice dude, but dedicated as all fuck
Sleeps 5 hours a night according to my grandad, he's just wired like that according to him. Just reads and works all night
Pretty impressive

didnt stop the boats lad. Id rather slower internet and less brown people pls

Rudd took the biggest mineral wealth in history and pissed it up against the wall.

Also increased immigration to insane levels. Also boat people. Also budget deficit.

And I'm no fan of howard either.

Did Rudds NBN not need a similar amount of infrastructure?

I'm all for bashing the libs, but the idea that the actual technical details of the rollout would be insanely different is just shitposting.

Indeed they likely would have had more problems than the current system in the installation stage due to the increased labor required for fiber to the home.

Rudd was a cunt though, rode Howard / Mining Boom coat tails and everyone thinks it's some sagely witch magic, as opposed to the financial stability afforded to Labor by the previous government that saved the day.

Just for OP.. Heres just some of the countries that sailed through the GFC unscathed and with surpluses...

> Canada
> China
> Bahrain
> Singapore
> Saudi Arabia
> New Zealand
> Israel
> Qatar
> Switzerland
> Brunei
> Brazil
> UAE
> Oman
