Fahey is good choice - both for politics and business

Comments on Joe Kelly “John Fahey makes 'no carpetbagger' pledge on disaster reconstruction”, 8/02/2011, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/in-depth/queensland-floods/john-fahey-makes-no-carpetbagger-pledge-on-disaster-reconstruction/story-fn7iwx3v-1226002023187

Fahey is a respected figure on the other side of politics.

It is good politics and business by the Gillard government to have him oversee the reconstruction fund from the federal government.

It would be even better politics and business for Gillard and her government if she now allows the Productivity Commission, with the support of the Communication department, to review the NBN policy.

Gillard is bold enough to change the Rudd era health agreement with the states.

She would strengthen her leadership greatly if she does the same for the NBN.

And the savings would be also tremendous and long standing.

PS: Increasingly more and more communication experts have voiced their opposition to the government's NBN project. Today's article by Ian Martin on the Australian online, entitled "Tied to cable yet future is wireless", follows yesterday's piece on the Businessspectators online.


Gillard should wake up and act decisively and quickly on this hugely and extremely important matter, with billions of dollars at stake. More importantly, at stake is Labor’s credibility of economic and business management skills, and Gillard’s leadership.

Now is a perfect opportunity for her.
