Attention Rudd Government: your NBN needs fixing I really doubt we will get value for what is believed to be the $90 billion that Labor's NBN will actually cost - even with corners being cut: 7.30: Delays and money troubles hit NBN roll out: GREG HOY, REPORTER: Anger in the trenches. In Seaford, South Australia, NBN subcontractors are not rolling out the National Broadband Network, they're ripping it up. BARRY PRINGLE, SUBCONTRACTOR, SA: This is what happens when you don't pay your subcontractors on time and you just get basically fobbed off by the main contractor working for NBN. GREG HOY: Subcontractor Barry Pringle is pulling out in protest over paltry pay rates for extensive work like this. BARRY PRINGLE: The schedule rates that NBN are paying their subcontractors are so low it's unable to build in the correct amount, or the industry standard... JOHN O'DONNELL, COMMUNICATION WORKERS UNION: The reality is NBN Co, the new Minister for Communications, the Rudd Government need to wake up, have a look at the pricing structures in this industry. They're not designed to be viable. They are sending people to the wall. six of our businesses have gone to the wall in the last 12 months... GREG HOY: ...Recently, (NBN) announced it had reached its politically sensitive, though radically reduced roll out schedule for the end of June. Many remain suspicious of the actual numbers connected. JOHN O'DONNELL: You do hear bits and pieces that are misleading, especially announcements from NBN Co. telling people that you know, we've established these networks, they're up and running. I'm sorry, but I go out there, I don't see any connections to the premises.
