OPINION: Albanese’s globalist leftist pipe dreams bleed billions as Australia’s infrastructure crumbles!

Albanese and his globalist leftist clown show are draining billions into net-zero fantasies while neglecting Australia’s energy and infrastructure realities. Rather than prioritising solutions that work, this government is busy with empty gestures like its latest $3 billion “boost” to the NBN—a band-aid on a $70 billion debacle. It’s the same tired story: throwing good money after bad to prop up outdated technologies that were obsolete before the rollout even began.

The smarter path forward is clear.  For regional Australia, Starlink is the obvious solution.  Elon Musk’s satellite internet system already delivers peak speeds of 470 Mbps and low latency of 29.8 ms, making it ideal for remote areas where the NBN has failed.  Forget the copper-reliant Fiber-to-the-Node (FTTN) or inconsistent Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC); Starlink’s advanced satellite technology provides fast, reliable internet anywhere, without the need for costly ground infrastructure.  It’s scalable, future-ready, and far more efficient than anything the government has managed to cobble together.

For urban areas, the solution is equally straightforward: a full-scale rollout of Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP).  Unlike the NBN’s mixed-technology mess, FTTP can handle the massive bandwidth demands of the AI-driven future, with speeds that scale up to 10 Gbps and beyond.  A public-private partnership (PPP) would bring the private sector’s efficiency into play while ensuring universal coverage.  Urban Australia needs this infrastructure not just for faster streaming, but to remain competitive in a world where digital innovation drives economic growth.

At the heart of these solutions lies a truth Albo’s government refuses to acknowledge: real progress requires energy security.  Shutting down the net-zero nonsense is step one.  A combination of nuclear power and fossil fuels is essential to power the digital and industrial revolution ahead.  Nuclear is reliable, scalable, and future-proof, while fossil fuels provide the necessary bridge until sufficient nuclear capacity is built.

Australia’s future demands leaders who understand the importance of hard infrastructure and realistic energy policy, not pie-in-the-sky green dreams. Starlink and FTTP can deliver the internet we need.  Nuclear and fossil fuels can provide the energy to power it. Anything less is just more wasted billions and lost potential.
