Shadow treasurer Joe Hockey's careless comments about the supposed 'superiority' of LTE wireless over FTTH have put a blowtorch to the ever-smouldering debate about fibre v wireless. So let's get this straight: every wireless service is a bit of wireless on the end of fixed network that will increasingly be fibre.

With the Greens and Coalition having said they will kill Labor's proposed mandatory internet filter - regardless of Saturday's poll - simple Senate mathematics tells you the controversial plan is destined to whither and fade to a distant memory.

Shadow treasurer Joe Hockey says the Coalition would dump the Government's controversial mandatory internet filter plan and instead revert to the Howard Government policy of making free end-user filters available to parents.
