How is the Abbott Government Going?

How is the Abbott Government going now that we have gone 4 months into the new Government.
We were promised a steady hand, no surprises Government with the adults in charge.
Lets see then.
Fraudband unraveling as the days tick on from the election date. TIC TIC TIC.
From Delimiter.

Quote:
In its broadband policy released in April 2013 (PDF), the Coalition made the following pledge: “Within 90 days the department of Broadband Communications and the digital economy, with the assistance of NBN Co and private carriers, will provide Parliament with a ranking of broadband quality and availability in all areas of Australia. This ranking will be published for comment and review and will guide prioritisation of the rollout.”
The report was brought out but is a joke of a report not promising what Turnbull said it would.
Quote:
However, the report released by the Minister appears to be little more than three pages of extremely high-level summary overview material. It does not consist of a “ranking of broadband quality and availability in all areas of Australia” as the Coalition had promised would be delivered within 90 days of it taking office.
The promise of faster, cheaper broadband was poo, pooed by most Telecommunication Techies, but Turnbull kept going.
Quote:
This approach has meant that the Coalition has admitted — just several months after the Federal Election — that it will no longer be able to keep its election promise of giving all Australians access to 25Mbps broadband speeds by 2016.
Quote:
I really have no idea how anyone at NBN Co — with that company’s deep engineering expertise — is supposed to take it seriously. It is a farcical effort that the Government should be ashamed of, and reflects a new broken election promise for the Coalition, if a minor one.
The Coalition has sold us a "pup", a very expensive and out of date pup at that.
Their broadband policy is a shambles, we were all warned.
They should bite the bullet and do the proper thing and apologise to the Australian people and continue with Labor's "Real NBN".
