Malcolm Turnbull MP has come out swinging after MyRepublic CEO Malcolm Rodriguez said the NBN’s multi-technology mix will be a ‘sh*t’ network.

“And insofar as Mr Rodrigues, from Singapore based MyRepublic, is trying to stimulate more demand for higher-end products, that too is a good thing. As I say at nearly every ‘Politics in the Pub’ or town hall meeting I attend, we need more people buying more products on the nbn. It is, after all, a business and we need the money.”
“But while I understand the need for Mr Rodrigues to generate some publicity as he seeks to get a foothold in the Australian market, it’s worth putting some of his comments into perspective.”
