NBN - No Contract No Consent, right?


While Australians (including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders) in the physical world have been turned into consumers,



whereas in the digital world of Google and Facebook, they may not be 'customers' or even consumers but rather data providers i.e. corporate slaves, most are not familiar with the intricacies of  Australian consumer law, the likes of the 6 volume Corporations Act 2001 or the over 1600 page, 3 volume Competition and Consumer Act 2010.

Through their digital personas many Australians have now been familiarised with the term "No Contract No Consent" via various social media platforms.

Some people have been using the above 'template' as a response to fines, etc which despite many claims does not work.

Very very briefly, in 'contract law', for the better use of the term, disclosure and your acceptance play a vital role in the providing of a service or purchase of an item.

Many people may erroneously state that in Australia we do not have 'common law', but in the example of a state's highest court, 'common law' is attended to every day where the Supreme Court of Victoria states:

"The Common Law Division deals with claims in tort or contract law and is responsible for appeals and reviewing contested decisions coming from other courts and tribunals."

In 2017 we put up an article that one of Australia's greatest (deliberate) failures the NBN will become compulsory, whether you like it or not, even if you did not 'consent' to it.

MANY households in the colony called Australia, would have received a letter from NBN Co as shown above, or a similar one from another corporation stating that their premises will be connected on a particular date, whether you agreed or not.

They're not the actions of a democracy, but rather a corporatocracy.

If in the 1970's you were travelling on a (hard working tax payer's funded) freeway and said that in just over 20 years that stretch of road would be come 'corporatised' by the state government, you no doubt would be assigned that label of a conspiracy theorist or a loony or nutter.


While the air we inhale today is of no cost, with all this climate change going on some boffin from the annals of government may even come up an new standard for example AS/FF (Australian Standards / Flatulence Factor) followed by a numerical value of 13 to 21



in order to to tax people for being the green house gas producers they are.

This law would apply to the serfs emitting the gasses from one orifice, since politicians emit from both ends, i.e 'top' and 'bottom' (pun intended) they would be excluded.

While 'straya is not clever, it sure is a "lucky country"

Wow, this article really opened my eyes to the importance of understanding the terms and conditions of internet service providers. It's so easy to get caught up in the excitement of signing up for a new service, but without fully understanding what we're agreeing to, we could be putting ourselves in a difficult situation. I'm going to make sure I always ask for internet service quotes that clearly outline the terms and conditions before making any commitments.
