I'M NOT SAYING TONY ABBOTT IS DUMB BUT IF THE REST OF THE WORLD IS SAYING IT, THEN IT MUST BE TRUE!

SirThomasWynne: Oz newsreader just said that Tony Abbott the Prime Minister was like George W Bush. How horrible for Bush to be dragged down to that level.

tnvol19: @SirThomasWynne actually how horrible to drag Abbott to that level. In short, neither are the brightest.

SirThomasWynne: @tnvol19 horrible men....and I should know....I'm a man!

Confidential_CC: DUMB and DUMBER

simonpjbest: @SirThomasWynne Is that Tony Abbott? He looks like Tony Blair has stood too close to a radiator and melted his face.

SirThomasWynne: @simonpjbest yes Simes our Tony is a slower, dumber version of the slowest, dumbest politician you can offer up....#halfwit

AUSTRALIAN 

NATIONAL BROADBAND NETWORK

Confidential_CC: Don't stop now Australians, JOIN THE PETITION! The National Broadband Network is what all Australians need. Please read link on picture and join petition. @TurnbullMalcolm needs to listen!

THE FOLLOWING PETITION HAS THE HIGEST NUMBER OF SIGNATURES EVER SENT TO AN AUSTRALIAN POLITICIAN VIA CHANGE.ORG

An update from Nick on the petition you signed: "The Liberal Party of Australia: Reconsider your plan for a 'FTTN' NBN in favour of a superior 'FTTH' NBN"

Dear Tom -

On Friday, after a quarter of a million people signed our petition, Malcolm Turnbull responded on his blog, and gave me a call. We spoke about the different NBN options available, and I made it clear that there is a ground swell of Australians, from all sides of politics, who want to see him reconsider how he deals with this. I was a little frustrated as he seemed to suggest that we don’t understand. He suggested we wait, read his report, and then we’d get it. I’m not sure that he understands. 

Today, Mr Turnbull's been confirmed as Minister. The coalition seem to think that winning the election was the end of debate, but I think it was the beginning. Clearly this is a deeper issue than I, or Mr Turnbull, really imagined. I've started the conversation with him, but I need your help to continue it. We need him to see that people are asking him to engage and be open about the future of the NBN. Will you share this image, and tag Minister Turnbull, asking this government to be the kind we were promised - one that listens?

The coalition need to know we want more from them. It’s fair that we expect them to engage, to listen. That’s what they pledged in the lead up to the election, and when they won. It has been a promising week. To be honest, when I started this petition, I thought it would be great to get 1000 signatures. But every day now, more and more Australians are signing on and asking the government to engage. Clearly, we've started something really big. We need to use this petition as the first step in a much bigger campaign - can you help take the next step?

Thanks

Nick Paine

P.S. It’s been great to see so many people talking about how to get the new government to listen to us. If you have an idea or a skill to contribute to the campaign, email: nbnpetition@gmail.com and let me know.
