Yes wait for the libs to conduct biased audits on the budget so they can say 'labor left us with no money so everything will be deferred until we get the budget back to working order.'

then watch them all score perfect 10's for all their backflips!!!

Well it's made the news at 94,500 signatures -

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-09-10/university-student-petition-to-scrap-nbn-takes-off-online/4949372

but at the time of typing it's now 99,000 and averaging 1 signature a second. It's attracted the attention of big Mal who somehow turns FTTH around to blame Labor for our broadband woes when it was their idea to rectify them o.0

I think Rupert is going to get a lesson that the interwebs is mightierer than the outdated medium of print to exercise muscle.

What makes it even more telling is that it is an entirely Australian effort, not like some of the recent viral global petitions.
