Here’s a little something to kick off your Monday morning: The Australian National Broadband Network (NBN) Roast!
With the possible exception of former Communications Minister Malcolm Tunbull, the NBN doesn’t have many fans left in Australia – us included.
Australian YouTuber and comedian RobComRobComhas taken this dislike to a new level, releasing a hilarious “diss track” to put the network – and its ageing copper connections – in their place.
In the words of my esteemed colleague Jackson Ryan:
Finally, someone has crafted a piece of art so biting, so scathing, so Australian that it perfectly encapsulates what an absolute disaster the NBN has been.
Even if you hate rap, this is a must-watch. (The buffer gag in particular is gold.) Enjoy!

Two years on, what have we got? Regardless of where your politics lie, the answer isn’t pretty.”]
