How very ‘PWC’ Mr Howcroft was going against the grain to the criticism from the other panel members regarding the NBN. Future Government revenue is mightier than the sword in the consultancy game.

Reasonably watchable, although Gruen is suffering from that syndrome where success leads to panel know-it-all smugness.
The studio audience is truly awful to watch. Their obedient, gushing, frenzied clapping every time Wil Anderson opens his mouth is like watching trained seals, or Mr. Kim’s Pyongyang rent-a-crowd. Eugh.
