On the subject of things internet . . .

Tony Abbott says one of the reasons Australians don't need Labor's fibre-to-the-home NBN is because so many people have laptops.





Mr Abbott's made a campaign stop at a shopping centre where he spoke to two women working on their laptops outside a cafe.





"So many people use their laptop with various wifi systems and with modems and so on, and one of the reasons why we don't need to dig up every street for the NBN is because these days it's actually mobile systems that people use half the time."
