No. Anyone running a business that relies on internet access should be seriously looking at relocating.

Nationalising sports broadcasts would be one way to get people behind the public broadcasters

Nope. It�s definitely something I look at when I�m moving between rentals.

Broadcast rights won't cost 30m when you outlaw commercial networks from airing sports, comrade

I got FTTN. No idea where the node is. No idea how old the cabling to the street is either. I doubt going with someone else will be magically faster, unless they've somehow over provisioned to the point where 50/20 becomes 20/0.7, in which case I'll gently caress them.

Modem stats are a good start. If the sync blows your measured throughput out of the water, then usually you have a fair idea what is happening.

if your sync sucks, congrats you lost node lotto.

In emails seen by BuzzFeed News sent to the department's supervisors, management and human resources, loading dock officers say they will no longer comply with directions to test white powder found around Parliament House, as they feel their lives are being put in danger.

Last month whistleblowers revealed security isn't trained or equipped to deal with the hazardous incidents they are being told to deal with. Since then management has been intimidating staff but hasn't yet provided adequate PPE, equipment or training

LONGMAN voters – particularly young people – believe Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has a better plan for Queensland than Opposition leader Bill Shorten, according to exclusive polling.

Couriermail.com.au is this evening publishing key poll data for Longman – including surprise two-party preferred results for the key by-election seat.

ReachTEL polling, of 814 Longman residents on June 26, showed that 58.7 per cent of voters thought Mr Turnbull had the best plan for Queensland, compared to 41.3 per cent who backed the Labor leader.

But it was 18 to 34 year olds who were the PM’s biggest supporters, with 71.7 per cent backing in the LNP leader.

Mr Shorten’s strongest support came from the 51 to 65 year old age bracket, where he had the support of 48.8 per cent of voters.

The Opposition leader has consistently trailed the Prime Minister in preferred leader polling conducted by Newspoll, despite Labor remaining ahead in the polls 52-48.

Longman polling results for company tax were published at 5pm, with the two-party preferred outcome to be revealed at couriermail.com.au at 9pm, and full details and comprehensive coverage in tomorrow’s Courier-Mail
