- 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.”
I searched for PsiQuantum and low and behold, here's a video of them speaking at the World Economic Forum.
Oh great, that just the shit on top of the mud cake 😩
Surprise surprise. The published papers look a lot like they’re setting up the infrastructure of slavery and the robot takeover.
Your link was deleted. I'll do the search. PaiQuantum is owned by Blackrock.
Corruption? I thought use of taxpayers funds need to be open and transparent.
There will be a whole heap of multimillionaire labor ministers and unionists once this circus goes 😠
Money laundering from taxpayers to Labor. Classic approach used by all third world dictatorships, where the regime has its own "companies" involved. This is absolutely corruption 101.
As transparent as shit.
Picking an offshore company makes it easier to get money into the Labor party leaders bank accounts.
That's it
Spot on!
It's biggest owner is the US based Blackrock Global fund. I'll bet Vanguard are there too.
Wasn't Albo the liar, recently spruiking, made in Australia???. The majority of us reject this shit, build houses, hospitals and schools with that money, not squander it on crap, the majority of us, can never, ever benifit from.
He's busy paying to get political satire and memes removed.
Fantastic use of our money.
Another billion dollars down the drain as there is not going to be enough electrical power in the future to run it.
It's investors include Blackrock and Microsoft's M12...WEF anyone?
Exactly. And the papers tell you exactly what they’re up to: Setting up the infrastructure of slavery and the robot takeover.
This is not in anyway to run a government .but then again we are talking about Labor on the way they do business. & not transparent what so ever.
Pork barraling at its finest
I don't believe Quantum Computing can EVER be made 100% safe, and certainly NOT using a company that's just been around for 1 year - NOT SAFE AT ALL 😡😡
Tyranny comes under the guise of “convenience” and “safety”.
Too hide their competence. Slush funds for their buddies and we are the mugs paying for it. 3 years later, expose of the money wasted and the corruption. Then all of a sudden Albo becomes a central figure in company
Pension bonus
Along with his mate Dan Andrews
Under this sinister Albo Government we are F….d
Building dams would be smarter but nah thats stupid huh albo
This is what I mean when I refer to Australia as a Technocracy.
I know people need houses, and they're still waiting for that $275 reduction in their power bills, and for the cost of everything to go down.
Was this an election promise to build a big dumb computer?
It’s very important to have a computer that can verify that its outputs are truly random.
This is what transparency looks like apparently
What’s another billion! No cost of living crisis here! You get a grant, he gets a grant, everybody gets a grant!!!
"Secrecy in the selection process?".
Corruption in the so-called corruption free western country is usually achieved by fine tuning "specifications" so only a certain bidder will qualify.
Typical. Take our money and spend it where you want with no accountability.
Pathetic liars and schemers
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.
your labor government selling australia
He cites several companies already involved in quantum computing. yet
Can you cite me the Quantum Mecahanics that are in use that justify the branding of this computer legitimately associated with Quantum Mechanics.
or is it just a branding ploy to make something SEEM smarter than it actually is.
it would be great to have a proof of concept

This had better not be a sneaky way to get digital stuff in our faces?
No trust, no confidence and dislike their underhanded manner, in treating us like idiots.
but it IS
What's new?
Another Billion? Up go taxes - billion here, billion there..
Money for mates and kick backs
Corruption at its highest level.... Enough is enough!!
A billion dollars might help solve the homelessness and housing crisis.
This tells you what actually matters the these scumbags and guess what... it isn’t you they care about.
We will have a billion dollar random number generator. It will be used to run Tatts instead of the Monday and Wednesday version.
Don't worry about the money what is the benefit to the Australian people
ZERO
You will own nothing and be happy, and you will eat zee bugs.
I already live most of my life in the bush and I feel sorry for the people that are being dictated to by the minorities
TO ME THIS STINKS .... I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT GOING ON HERE.. SURVELLANCE ???
Surveillance is just the tip of the iceberg. The published papers look a lot like they’re setting up the infrastructure of slavery and the robot takeover.
They have a vested interest in the company and the money is going into their pockets
No ,we do not need that overseas company to make more money out of Australians,we have our own business that they can use the support of government that stays in Australia and pay tax in Australia.
Someone say "Enron"?
Consider this statement: In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of citizens to give to another. (Quote by Voltair - 1764)
Better not say too much may get cancelled then mprisoned in the commisars pre-built covid gualags for free speech infringement! Australian made? About 40 years too late! Last time i checked 90% of Australias businesses we foreign acquired. Hows this for Australia First, only 6 out of 10000 foreign Australian acquisitions were not approved.
Include this show Americana Sky opinion show...
Quantum computing is currently speculative at best -- this govt just keeps on trying to top its last stupid move! And succeeding spectacularly!
What?
Brown envelopes under the table
#BeingSaneInInsanePlaces
Albo is just taking a leaf from the Trudeau playbook.
“Vee haf infiltrated zee cabinets”.
What could possibly go wrong when you've got Albosleazy and Giggle Boy at the helm?
Housing crisis solutions? Nah, let's gamble on a quantum computer
@:23 secs Labor to build a "Fault-Tolerant computer"?
WHY ?
Is this to sidestep their INADQUACY ?
Where's Albanese getting all this money from.
A billion here, a billion there.
Whose footing the bill.
The Australian people are paying. its our $$$$$
Not these muppets, they're on the taxpayer gravy trough train.
This smells like a Paladin saga all over again
What, exactly, is to be not disclosed when we, the taxpayer, are the investors?
You would think with all the back-handers flying about old Albo would be able to afford a suit that fits him!
Secrecy hides corruption. Albo promised a more transparent government, another ALP lie.
Didn't u see that on the ballot paper... lol, 🤬
There's a lot more to this than what we know already and its going to be pretty bad especially when it's Labor Gov driven.
The Blackrock owned PsiQuantum computer is in the UK and another is under construction at Stanford. Where's this Australian computer ???
Ukraine.?

On a round trip flight.
Its well known effect - if someone uses bs as his own weapon usually he is very prone to be affected by someone else bs. Because of absence of lie detectors, of internal voice shouting "what the bs I hear/see/make???".
I thought the big Albo ticket idea was buy Australian, not ship a billion dollars off shore. Did we really expect anything else, if the government was a business it would be broke before the next election,, so.
Computers....ask the British Post Masters about them!
Why didn't they get funding from private equity?
I would rather see Australian taxpayer dollars used to support a return of pharmaceutical manufacturing back to Australia. This is what affects everyday Australians, not some pie in the sky quantum research. If the company research was so promising, why weren't VC investors beating a path to their door?
Who gave Always Sleazy the right to spend a billion dollars of taxpayers' money without consulting the taxpayers first? Just like palletjack keeping secrecy regarding cost for the Olympic games in Brisbane, labour already has wasted millions on advisors, and its All come to a grinding halt.
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.
Boycott voting untill we get an honest TRANSPARENT government, remember what albo alleged? TRANSPARENCY: Where is his transparency now!
Frustrated rant over.
Nothing to do with administering the new carbon credit system.
How they going to power it, solar?
How is it that some fool not even "Made In Australia" can claim Australian Made ?
Follow the money. , my guess is there is going to be a number of connections throughout the Australian political system.
Mr Transparency, that's my style I hope you noticed.
You can’t expect anything less from the “Transparent” Albanese GUBBERMINT. Like a cabinet of cardboard cutouts.
how long will the australian ttolerance continue these liars and thieves
Built in the US with Austarlian $$$$'s 😞😞😞 no detail. Like the aircraft black box project that the US took up ???
Can’t make anything in Australia , wages are to high!!
$A worth peanuts, housing = lotto win. What could possibly be wrong with that ?
This is Albo's big brother solution for his misinformation bill .
Generous on account of the taxpayers...
Pa;lachook has set this up. Its owned by gess who? Blackrock WEF. What are they going to do with it?
So, now I am really worried. Will the average Aussie voter really be taken in by the snake oil tactic ? God help us if she/he is.
And what is the goal of this company to build a fast computer?
Us base quantum ? USA base ? Got it? Not Australian !
Let's go 🎉🎉🎉
These companies probably have a link to our politicians here, hence the secrecy on the details. It comes across that Labour loves to take money that isn’t it theirs to give to “companies” That ultimately will benefit them behind the scenes. This government must go. They are in politics for the old saying “what is in it for me”, and not what is for the country. They don’t give two hoots about the people and the recent event should make that very clear (as albo likes to say) to everyone. I hope those who voted for them wake up as they don’t care about you at all. They just buy your votes.
U don't think they spent 50,000$ on a Toilet seat do u? Well i can tell u that they spend 50,000,000,000$ on a Black Flying Triangle with Solar Paint, in Space, larger than a 747.
Seems that the dollars are over flowing the central government coffers. Does it not?😊
Your going to give giggles a computer?
Geezus
I wonder how many of Albo’s mates are going to get rich from this?
Corruption?
Quantum computer? I'm a gamer, I've built a few computer regs here and there as a hubby. But what's a Quantum computer? Does it travel through time?
So we are helping the US economy not Australia's.
A billion dollars for a new spybot.
Like fusion, Quantum Computing is always "Several Years away" #AlboNeedsToGo
. If it's so amazing why aren't Americans investing ? they invest in anything and everything it's Because they got been burnt too many times Theranos comes to mind .
But what does it do?
Most don't believe he even exists, but Satan is the "father of lies"...and he has many obedient followers.
Is this another Pine Gap?
Ha will never be made in Australia this money will go in the pockets of over sea company's.
Dangerous game here,
Yeh i vemember this 1. As much secrecee azs, " Where weir going, we don't flying train's in BTTF 3." I just want my Orange Solar Paint.
This smells bad
Just giving away tax payers money .
You don’t need to know what it is all you have to know is the commission you are going to get if you sign the purchase contract. Like the submarines that were bought by South Africa to finance an election. The submarines are all damaged and sitting in port. I hope this computer does not sit idle until it’s out dated.
Another back room deal by people who have no idea about technology.
How is this made in Australia???
The $ landed in Brisbane en route to LA =made in Australia.
60-40 equity.

Great, more funnelling tax money to his buddies again!!
With all due respect Sky News, in Australia we already have an opposition party. Silly billys.
BABY ALBO says thanks to doners.
As IT professional this is very exciting! If you are in need of software engineer look no further. It would be great honour to lend my know how to bring to fruition quantum PC!
