"NBN Co has maintained that it is on track to meet its target of 54,300
premises passed by the end of the year, despite the figure currently
sitting at 32,295".

Let's rephrase that:
NBN Co has maintained that it is on track to meet its target of 0.5% of
*premises* *passed* by the end of the year, despite the figure currently
sitting at 0.3%.
Continuing the garbage...
"NBN Co cited recent figures that active connections stood at 24,000,
consisting 17,000 interim satellite users, 600 fixed wireless users, and
6400 fibre customers".
Let's rephrase that:
...24,000 active connections consisting of 71% connected to the interim
satellite network (built by the Coalition) - 600 (or 2.5%) were
connected to fixed wireless and only 6,400 (27%) connected to fibre.
...NBNCo didn't say how many of the *active* connections were *paying*
customers.
