Australia’s digital infrastructure is objectively crook, and those of us in rural locales have it really bloody bad. Despite hundreds of millions of dollars being poured into the National Broadband Network, many Aussies in regional areas are still subjected to seriously limiting internet speeds.
Hanson announced earlier today that she’ll be sitting on the NBN Committee, asserted that she’ll fight for better connections, and encouraged her constituents to share their experiences with laggy-as-hell internet.
That they did, and the results are goddamned incredible:
@bawdz @australian Thanks Chris! We need faster internet in this country because right now our speeds are lagging.

@bawdz @australian Kids from the bush tell me because their speeds are so bad they keep getting beaten by gamers from overseas- Unacceptable

Her almost charming innocence regarding the issue was compounded when she unloaded this take on another commenter’s FIFA woes:
@heapsdrunk @bawdz @australian Sounds awful, I will do what I can to help. In the mean time have you tried real golf? It’s usually lag free.
