Infrastructure Investment

The Investment into National Broadband Network.

It is interesting to note where the government invests the money for infrastructure.  As it's the Broadband network, it definately suggests that Parliament and the people will be relying on the virtual world more in the future.  A Virtual element in distribution of Parliament would seem appropriate within a physical meeting place?

'The Australian Government announced on 7 April 2009 it would establish a new company to design, build and operate a new high-speed National Broadband Network (NBN). The NBN will become the single largest infrastructure investment made by an Australian Government, accompanied by historic reforms to Australia's telecommunications sector.'
