NBN joint venture collapse a 'vote of no confidence' - ABC News

1-1

The Federal Opposition says the collapse of a proposed joint venture to build the National Broadband Network in Tasmania shows the overall project is a shambles.

The Government planned to build the network with Tasmanian electricity company Aurora Energy.

But a spokeswoman for Communications Minister Stephen Conroy says both parties have agreed the Government will use Aurora as a contractor instead.

I guess one just has to wonder why Aurora Energy has pulled out of the business deal that has been so widely touted as the next best thing for Australia?

Senator Conroy?

Me and my profession

As a qualified educator, and educator of the educators, I am a communications expert; understanding how and why information delivery works and doesn't work. I have experience with technology and consider myself an information-futurist. I am a dreamer!

Now, enough of that wank and onto some more...I have been a teacher of modern English and literature, taught people the skills of learning, teaching and communicating. A can look at big and little pictures and advise on getting from point A to point B. I can read maps!

I am an excellent facilitator, negotiator and have, on many occasions in the past, presented to small and large groups alike. I am a talker!

My experience in commercial enterprise has helped me take a leap from the structure and politic of government back into the real world. I am a thinker!

But I am a teacher; was a teacher of skills and knowledge, and now, like most of us, just a teacher.

Specialties:

Information and communication developer, reviewer and planner, advice on learning, elearning and services online. I see the past and dream the future. I can use smart and dumb tools. A sharer and a listener. A strategist and a dreamer. I can negotiate with people from all walks. I know where I am at and where you want to be. I can read maps!
