SOMEBODY needs to take control of the NBN rollout in the Bundaberg region, because right now it's looking like a total mess.

This is the technology that was supposed to deliver state-of-the art communications around Australia.

Well, it isn't.

The NewsMail has been inundated with complaints about the NBN.

And it's not just one or two complaints, it is happening disturbingly often.

You have to ask how a company staffed supposedly by trained professionals could make such a mess of the rollout.

People who have had the NBN connected to their homes are reporting that they are losing internet access and telephone services for months.

And Telstra seems to be totally unresponsive to complaints.

Take the case of the woman who had her home phone number changed without being told.

How can that happen?

The NBN rollout is costing tens of millions of dollars of public money.

It's money the country cannot afford to spend on a flawed system, and we deserve better use of our money.
