More Noalition NBN Bullshit Busting

Here is some more Noalition bullshit busting.
NBN Bullshit Busting.
From the linked article.

 Shadow Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull has claimed it is a "charade" that the NBN is kept off budget. The government, in response, has always argued that the NBN is not an expense to the government, because ultimately the project will be paid back to government, with a commercial rate of return estimated at around 7 per cent.

The NBN is an asset not an expense.

When will the media start asking the hard questions of the Noalition on the NBN. Questioning their assertions against the NBN and challenging what they say they want to do?
