Agreed. As per the HN guidelines:

HN is a great place for considered discussion. Let's keep it that way.

To be fair, it's a true statement. The NBN is shithouse and compared to what was promised originally, it could be considered fake.

This is the part that is questionable:

> our far-right government, which loathes and fears any technology more recent than coal & witch burning.

Let sleeping dogs lie, is my advice here.

Yes, let's do that please. The tone wasn't right for HN.

If you live in Australia you would probably agree that thats not far from the truth either.

I live in Australia and most people I know would disagree with that statement. Depends on your social circles.

As an outsider I don't have much insight to Australian politics, but all I've read about recently is their stance on fossil fuels and encryption. Based on that, from an outside perspective, I'd be very inclined to agree with that statement. Out of curiosity, in what ways is it untrue?

Fair point.
