Speaking at the National Press Club in Canberra today, Leader of the Opposition, Malcolm Turnbull, said that Senator Stephen Conroy, Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy was “positively youthful”, though doesn’t deserve to be a Parliamentarian any longer.

“Stephen Conroy appears positively youthful,” he said.

Turnbull remained speculative of the Government’s broadband decision, noting that the National Broadband Network (NBN) had no financial analysis released with its announcement.

“This is a man that has completely bungled the National Broadband tender and presumably suggested to the Prime Minister that they announce a 43-billion dollar broadband project without any financial analysis at all,” he told delegates

In concluding his analysis of another Minister and Senator Stephen Conroy, he stated that Conroy didn’t deserve to be a minister at all.

“Now I don’t think either of those two Parliamentarians, relatively useful youthful though they may be, deserve to be…Ministers or even in Parliament based on their capacity and performance.”

OPPOSITION leader Malcolm Turnbull posted on Twitter this evening saying that he would post something soon about the Government’s clean feed proposal.
