The admission that costs would not be fully recoveredTwo former senior Department of Finance officials said Labor and Coalition governments had repeatedly kicked the can down the road on revaluing the NBN.
NBN paid billions of dollars to Telstra for design and planning work, as well as an ongoing $1 billion annual payment to use Telstra’s ducts and trenches to lay the fibre.

Rudd still talking underwater
Labor under water?
