another $30 billion and we still can't get decent internet in the suburbs lol

Blake Turner2026-07-06T03:37:00.000Z

lol exactly. copper wire in 2026 is a joke.

Don Christie knows his stuff. Been in the game for years. But building data centres without the skills pipeline is like building a motorway with no cars.

great another tax break giveaway for overseas companies while we can't afford to see a GP

Sam North2026-07-06T04:38:00.000Z

facts. And they'll plaster 'world-class digital infrastructure' on a sign while we still can't get fibre in the regions.

Drew Parker2026-07-06T04:00:00.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. we don't need more foreign owned data centres sucking up our power.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-06T04:33:00.000Z

curious who's gonna pay for the power upgrades... ratepayers? 😅

Ben Sullivan2026-07-06T05:00:00.000Z

yep. Just like the last 30 billion promise.

Chloe Martin2026-07-06T04:42:00.000Z

data centres don't create jobs mate. They just sit there humming. We need actual industries.

Sam North2026-07-06T05:04:00.000Z

Don Christie is dead right. We're being sold a story. This is just real estate play for foreign capital. No transfer of knowledge.

Blake Turner2026-07-06T05:56:00.000Z

bloody hell someone with common sense. They'd rather import workers than train locals.
