Hi, Thanks for doing this AMA!

While on tour are there any decisions you've made (in combat or otherwise) that you regret?

Hi, Thanks for doing this AMA!

As you perfectly documented in your speech I (and many fellow Australians) am greatly concerned with the direction the current government is heading, and the possibility for some of the decisions it makes to be irreversible (NBN for example).

1) Apart from nonsense petitions asking Tony Abbot to step down, is there any effective action the average Australian can take to get the current government out of office before the term is up or are we stuck with them until the next Olympics?

2) Also, in your speech you mentioned the bi-elections are only one seat. What impact will winning this seat have on the Green's ability to help out the Australian people (as the current government clearly isn't)?

NBN:

3) What is your opinion on the NBN? With all the research that has gone into it and the very slim difference in price between a world-class NBN and a pile of copper, not to mention the fact it would pay for itself within the first 5 years of completion, why on earth is Malcom Turnbull not just giving the Australian people what they want?

One other thing I'd like to add that puzzles me every time it's talked about: When people compare FTTH with FTTN why is the speed always discussed as 100mbps for FTTH where the same technology is currently serving 2gbps in Japan? Surely presenting FTTH as "starting at 100mbps" would be better?

Damn, I thought you would have been paid more in your line of work, especially considering you're away from friends and family.

What's some advice you would give to someone about to do their first week-long contract in this line of work? A friend is starting mid-January!
