I fail to see the link between homophobic, racist, sexist morons and climate change disbelief or how either of there relate to the internet.
why not add some other ists to the list like extremist, rapist . sounds like a bad loser to me

So now that you sound like one of the morons you denounce  how bout you prove you are not by expounding on what the internet means and its benefit to society, the economy and national security.

You may exclude the following from your arguments
The meaning of cadamite and the many varied wonderful word I wish I did not know but do thanks to the internet and cowcar
how if everybody was better informed about the internet there would be no homophobic, racist, sexist moron bad drivers and we would all agree climate change is real I mean any one who cant see summer and winter are different what a moron
That it is possible to read news and watch low resolution videos on a poor quality connection.
That a really good connection will allow us to do the above but with more higher resolution adds.
Solar panels are not the solution to climate change Bageleds magnet motor is
Global warming will lead to an ice age

But as a taxpayer I would like to know where my $2-3k (based on 34biil/11mil full time jobs) is going to, cause I can sure see many other places it use would benefit me more directly eg roads, schools, hospitals, police, renewable energy research infrastructure, space mirrors, trade subsidies and rail line upgrades

So.......space mirrors.....?

The link is that they are all key policy differences at the last election.
Homophobic: Coalition is strongly opposed to marriage equality. This is Australia, we shouldn't give a fuck about anything, including the gender of the person someone loves.
Racist: The whole "stop the boats" is racist scaremongering. I'd rather see a decline in illegal immigrants through an increase in legal immigrants, and a global decrease in refugees.
Sexist: The Coalition is religiously opposed to women's rights. The makeup of the cabinet either shows that, generally, only dim women are Liberals, or that women aren't respected enough by the Coalition to be put in places of authority.
Morons: They've ditched having a science minister in favour of a fucking sports minister. That's going to secure our future infrastructure and aid our economy on a global scale. The resources sector will not last forever, eventually we'll have to have more to export.
Climate Change: Tony Abbott is a vocal climate change denier. That's fucked for people my age who are going to have to live with the decisions made over the coming years. It's fine for current politicians, they'll almost all be dead before shit gets real bad.

Admittedly it's only a tenuous link between those issues and the NBN, but they're still the main issues people voted the Coalition in for.

While the Labor NBN was wasting money, the Coalition NBN is a waste of money in itself.

Given the population density of Australia, improving the latency and bandwidth of our internet will aid many areas. It'll make working from home more feasible, and should help reduce the amount of vehicle usage. Plus we'll be able to stream 4K stuff to our TVs once they come down to an affordable price. Have you seen a 4K tv? They're fucking beautiful.

Don’t buy into the hype Zoo. Those issues you listed are just examples of how we are ruled by minorities and minority extremist reactions to them.
Take gay marriage.
Gay’s represent 2.5% of the Australian population, and what percentage of that actually wants to get married? Not everyone homo or hetero even agrees with marriage at all. Cordless is a case in point, long term relationship, hetero, unmarried and content. Lets say 30% of the gays want to get married. That’s 0.75% of the population. Then who gives a fuck, who actually cares if they get married or not, some handful of religious extremists who get themselves on Today Tonight. I’d  expect the percentage of population to be even small for people who actively don’t want gays to marriage, say 0.75%. So here we have a situation where about 1.5% of the population give a fuck either way, yet it is an issue everyone has an opinion on it. The result is an issue 98.5% don’t really care about gets treated like it is a real issue.
I’ll never forget back when global warming first really started to pick up steam, and the Howard government was under a lot of pressure, Kyoto was starting up, Australia wasn’t signing. Global warming was big fresh new news. So John Howard hems and haws as he did for a couple of weeks. I remember being pretty thrilled to see him under so much pressure, I thought he might do something proactive about the environment, the media had him against the wall about a real issue. SO anyway, John Howard calls a press conference, they start asking him about global warming, what is Australia going to do, why won’t you sign Kyoto. And John Howard looks at them and says “I’ve decided to outlaw gay marriage”, then walks out. Suddenly global warming is off the front page, and is replaced with  gay marriage. True story.
Every time you buy into one of these extremist non issues you are being played.

It doesn't change the fact that because it's such a non-issue gay marriage should be legal, or that the rest of it is fucked. Not saying Labor had the answers, just saying the Coalition certainly don't have the answers.
