The new wholesale allowable peak plans on Sky Muster will increase from 75G to 150GB, and total monthly plans will increase from 150GB to 300GB, from 1 October 2017.

 Cotton Australia and its allies - through the Rural Regional and Remote Communications Coalition (RRRCC) - have long campaigned to achieve an end to the data drought, and we think the nbn's announcement is a step towards achieving that.

Just as they do in the cities, Australia's farmers and other rural businesses rely on internet access to safely and efficiently run their operations. 

Additional data can only increase our farmers' productivity and profitability, and we are pleased that the nbn’s announcement recognises that.

The challenge will be to ensure that the nbn's announcement will flow through to new retail data plans when they become available in October 2017. 

Cotton Australia, the RRRCC and other groups will be negotiating with the telcos so that the wholesale increase translates into a lift in data allowances for retail plans.

When we consider all the numerous causes that are being peddled out there today (the majority of them are ideologies), it does tend to give cause as to why the narcissist regimes is so ‘hell’ bent on crushing Christianity.

Such is because it’s God authoritative laws and values (make common sense).

Secular society runs its way, whereas Christianity runs God’s way and neither the twain can meet. 

We can’t have it both ways for we are either for God (without in any way compromising his truth) or we serve mammoth.

We live in a world today whose people, many of them deliberately placed (in high places) so that they can allow will to overtake those things that are of ‘good report’ and in doing so they destroy what was once a decent society structured on purposeful values.

We see the erosion and evil (in action) on a daily basis yet those in control allow it to occur by turning a blind eye and pretending everything is ok, because to pretend means they won’t (and don’t) need to do anything about it.

Seeing as evil in our world is the work of the devil, who is very well and alive (through narcissism) in our world today, as we watch the ongoing destruction of lives and countries through the evil of terrorism, claimed to be a service for the god Allah, whereas our God abhors such and is the total opposite.

As the late Gaddafi, the Libyon leader, stated in his declaration and I quote him “Islamics don’t need to fight to gain world dominance, all they need to do is take up residence in western nations, hasten the birth rate to gain power and presence in the parliament and then convert that nation into an Islamic state.”

Isn’t this what we are seeing worldwide today?

Gaddafi would have died a happy man had he the insight of how much support from the left, especially Q&A, would be nursing this along as they proclaim how much they loathe out so-called racist, bigot nation.
