Contractors responsible for the National Broadband Network have today begun mailing out urine sample jars to frustrated Australians, as the failed infrastructure project begins to visibly take the piss.

This comes as The Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman also revealed an almost 160 per cent increase in NBN complaints over the past financial year.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has admitted it was a “big mistake” to set up a new company to build the National Broadband Network, adding that Labor left the Coalition a “calamitous train wreck” – and he hopes this new urine sample mail-outs give voters a good idea of the current state of the project.

“It’s not a good look” says Turnbull.

“But we’ve gotta be honest with everyday Australians, this is why we have mailed out these piss cups”

“Because we are taking the piss. That’s literally all we are doing right now”

Mr Turnbull was questioned about the NBN this morning after Four Corners reported the troubled rollout was creating a digital divide across Australia, with people out the back of Bourke looking like they’ll need to keep their home phones running for the next ten years as dial-up appears to be their own option.
