Gaffe-r tape can't fix Abbott's NBN case
Parliament is back, and it's game-on again as the NBN debate comes down to crunch time. Tony Abbott still believes the NBN is for interactive gambling and downloading pirated movies, but he couldn't find even $1 to cut from his $2 billion list of budget savings. Given his ever patchier financial and technical record, can he unite his party behind a more coherent NBN opposition — or will his tendency towards bluster and blind opposition end up as a free kick for Labor?
