NBN in review: one marathon run, another begins – Features – ABC Technology and Games (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
NBN in review: one marathon run, another begins – Features – ABC Technology and Games (Australian Broadcasting Corporation):
"March was full of drama as NBN Co finally dragged itself past the finish line of its first marathon - the battle to get legislative and contractual approval for its rollout - then stood up and prepared to run even faster towards its goal of passing 3.5m homes by 2015. Throw in strong support from a number of new retail service providers, the release of new pricing, a bit of espionage and the usual recriminations between the NBN haves and have-nots, and it was yet another action-packed month"

Australian government boosts police and parole powers:
"Without any public discussion or media coverage, the Australian government has pushed through legislation that enhances a range of police and parole powers, strengthening the apparatus established in the “war on terrorism” since 2001. Backed by the Greens, as well as the Liberal National Coalition opposition, the Gillard Labor government secured the passage of several measures that go beyond those imposed by the previous Howard government."
