  • Shadow Minister for Digital Economy Paul Fletcher says the government’s billion-dollar computer deal was clouded in “secrecy” and set up so that PsiQuantum could win.
    The government committed to $940 million to the US start-up company’s bid to build a commercially viable quantum computer in Brisbane.
    “This process has been clouded in secrecy, there was no public transparent expression of interest process to call for applications," he said.
    “A small number of companies were invited to participate, as I understand it, but they were required to sign disclosure agreements.
    “And as I understand it the terms made it look like this had been written so that PsiQuantum was going to be the winner.”

    Nobody in their right mind invests money like this. Untried technology? The scientific participants themselves have no real idea whether this Quantum technology will be viable scientifically or even more problematically as a commercial success.
    The latest quantum computing breakthroughs are only at a technical "demonstration of concept" level, and even if successful have a very niche application.

    Labour is atrocious at money wastage that does not belong to them, the No vote how much did that cost and went in wastage? 11 million to albos advisors, a million to Ukraine, the $220k for a wellness camp in QLD to just gift it away whilst Australians are homeless.. it just goes on and on and on.
    What more absurd is idiots keep voting for them.
    It's about bloody time government faces an investigation into corruption, and at the very least, has its books audited.
    We are taken for mugs and told we have to vote for this bullshit.. I say no more.

    These companies probably have a link to our politicians here, hence the secrecy on the details. It comes across that Labour loves to take money that isn’t it theirs to give to “companies” That ultimately will benefit them behind the scenes. This government must go. They are in politics for the old saying “what is in it for me”, and not what is for the country. They don’t give two hoots about the people and the recent event should make that very clear (as albo likes to say) to everyone. I hope those who voted for them wake up as they don’t care about you at all. They just buy your votes.
